new cranks.

after crashing yesterday, i am looking for some new cranks. to make a long story short, i clipped my pedlal while turning and it bent which stripped all the threads out of my pedal boss on my crank. the cranks i have right now are sugino vp's, and what i am wondering is should i just buy aother pair of the same cranks ( luckily i found a set on ebay) or do you have any suggestions or do you have any suggestions for cranks of the same dimensions for around 50 dollars ? this is the model.

well, people say used sugino 600's are good. note: if you had pedal strike, maybe try going to 165mm, that would help a little bit. also, if you want new, sugino rd's can be had for ~55 (check aebike, they are cheap.)

you should probably go with 165 if pedal strike ruined your last pair
