Crank Arm Recommendations

I need to get myself a new set of crank arms for my Bianchi. I'd prefer 165mm, and the lighter the better. Any good sites for track parts? Recomendations of brands?

I can pick the bike up with my pinky now, but she could be lighter... I don't think having a 170 on one side and a 165 on the other is helping my knees any, either.

Thanks

Damn - you must know way better keywords than I do... I was wondering why I only got one page of hits...

you need more PBR. Go for the Sugino 75s if you can land 'em

Check the Shimano Soras out here:

I have them and am pleased and they are '65s and they are cheap, about 65 bucks new and aluminum!

Or to spend more time when I'm working on e-bay - I try to resist the temptation...

Soras area cheaper, but heavier. I'd go with the vintage Sugino's...solid, plus the crown stamp gets points

Are you really The Wrench? That post sems a little bit out of character...

I know someone who has bought a bike just because it had a set of 171mm Suginos...

And it's payday...

Hmm...

What will I be doing before I go into work?

Or grab a set of 105 with the hollow arms. Almost a 1/2 pound lighter than the Soras. Downside is you have to go to the Splined BB, but there again it is lighter as well....
