Crank Set Help
 

Hello everyone. I am currently building a new fixed gear bike and I wanted to get some opinions on crank sets. I had a set of stock cranks off an SE Draft that I was going to throw on until I realized that the thread on one of the arms was stripped. So I am in the market for a new set of cranks. I am on a pretty tight budget and I plan on using the chainring that is currently on the SE crankset.

I was looking at a couple options:

SHUN Crankset 170mm

LASCO Crankset 165mm

Thanks so much in advance!

If you're considering 130 BCD you can source cheaper cranksets off eBay that are the same level of quality.

These often sell for @$15 and they are about the same as every other low-end 130 BCD track crank out there. Next option would be buying a Sugino/SR crank from eBay. These are generally lightly used and were very good quality OEM parts on mid-upper level road bikes from the 80s. They often require mounting the ring on the inside of the spider to get the right chainline.

After that would be full-market low-end cranks like Eighthinch and so forth. Not something I'd consider for a budget build.

What's the question?

I have never bought cranks new. I buy them all used. All-City, Shimano 600, Shimano 105 are what I've bought and used in the last year.
