That crankset alone is $330 new, so if everything is in good condition, its a good deal. Though you can get the Pake frame for $170 new at https://treefortbikes.com/#product.as...50&parent=a339. So if you like that combination of frame and crank, it might be worth it to spend a bit more for new stuff.

forgot to mention that the link for the frame doesn't include a fork, so that will obviously add some cost

I would ask you why you need carbon cranks on your Pake frame. Are you a weight weenie?
I say spend the money on other things like wheels or something besides a Pake frame, since it doesn't come with a fork.

Oh ok. yeah i thought it was a good deal because the cranks w/ bb were worth alot. The frame does come with a fork and seatpost w/ seat. just trying to get my moneys worth
