...if you're not, sign up for their eMail list and wait for a discount code.
OUTMAR is usually worth .10 off, it was last month anyway.

Your cog is slipping.
EighthInch is most likely the best bang for your buck.

If you're looking at All-Citys you may as well get a set of unbranded Andels and nix the gigantic logo on the crank arms.

I've got this and it's been pretty rad so far. And it's shiny.

Origin 8 makes complete garbage. My friend received one of them stem with an ovalized clamp. I would not trust a company that makes products with a 5mm error tolerance.

Until the OP chimes back in with how much money he/she actually wants to spend, we can all keep rattling off cranksets until our fingers bleed and get absolutely nowhere.
