WTB: more cranks

[Justin August]

Looking for another set of 170mm cranks capable of 46/30 or lower gearing. Shiny silver please.

Hi,

I have a pair of the old Ritchey mountain compacts at 42-32-22. in near new condition, would make a great compact double or, heaven forbid, a triple. 170mm.

$125 sound reasonable?

I'd be open to trading for any sort of compact double in a 175mm, my new preferred length, as well.

I have a set of Sugino AT cranks in 170mm. No Chainrings.

[ViveLemond]

Justin is taking my Ritchey cranks. 

Thanks to all who emailed with interest.

[Kieran J]

How many hundreds of emails did you get for those Ritchey cranks? :-P

Actually, Justin decided not to buy them...so, let's say they are on sale again.

Price is $200 + shipping. (Sorry for the crummy picture)

East Bay pickup preferred. Paypal or cash. 

Hope they can find a nice home!

[Frankwurst]

I'm confused is the price $125 or $200 plus shipping?

mfw I offer ritchey cranks with mismatched rings for $125 but then the buyer backs out and I check eBay so now the price is $200

[Sam Krueger]

Hi, ( to answer Randal and clear up the price)

I know Justin from the past and quickly offered to help him. He backed out, and there was a lot of interest in the crankset, so I thought I'd ask for a reasonable price. 

Picking a price is always hit or miss and I don't have a lot of time to spend on this. We'll see how it goes. 

Still open for trading for a compact double in a 175mm.

[Sam Krueger]

my cranks are being traded, not for sale.

Not to denigrate Ritchey cranks.  I have a set (for quite a while).   But what is the difference between them and other cold forged 110 BCD Sugino square taper cranks?   Your answer will help me make a build choice.

[J]

Looks. They look good and became rare as hen's teeth during the Pandemic induced supply shortage which resulted in the vintage bike parts craze.  

[Kieran J]

They have a slightly lower q-factor than many other arms from that era.

The 94BCD triple model (labeled "Compact") are very popular because they can be turned into a low Q, (145mm +/-) wide range double with a 29T or 30T inner chainring sitting in the middle position.  The original post in this thread was for the 94BCD.

I have these 94BCD cranks on about half a dozen bikes, all setup  as either 42/29 or 42/30 doubles. Here is the Ritchey version: Q is ~145mm when using a Phil Wood 98mm BB.

Damn, looks great!

[John Mottl]

I probably can dig up an all silver SunTour MD triple which can accept down to a 20T small ring. They have 175mm crank length in decent used condition
I also have a brand new in the box set of Shimano XTR cranks from maybe 1990

I'm back home in Mid January and can yard these out then,  if anyone is interested
