Sugino straight arm triple crankset?

Hi there.

My sciatica doesn't like the wider Q-factor of offset crankarms. I
understand that Sugino still makes straight arm triple cranksets. Does
anyone know where I can get one in South Central Ontario, Canada?

If not does Andrew sell them?

I prefer 170 mm crankarms and would like 24-38-48 chainrings although
I think that 28-38-48 rings are standard.

Thanks and cheers

Hi there.

I also want something in the $60.00 range if possib;e. The old Sugino
GT or VP were ideal for me. Is there anything like that still
available? Ebay is *NOT* an option for me.

Thanks again and cheers

Are you aware that the old square cranks typically used BB spindles
that measured 20mm longer than those you can use with flared cranks?
If you stay away from the worst examples of wide MTB cranks these
days, using a 103mm or 107mm spindle leaves you with about the same Q
as the cranks of yore.

If you live in a place that has a community/salvage bike shop or
regular swap meet, you can find the kind of cranks you're looking for
at one of those places. If you can find a Sugino AT crank, those are
beautifully made cold-forged units that are way classier than most
cranks ever made in similar numbers.

What's your issue with eBay? Seems no worse than any other flea
market to me.

My issue with Ebay is that I have never had a credit card nor do I
want to get one now.

The Q-factor on my straight arm crankset is a lot *LESS* than it is
with the square taper flared road cranks I have such as Campy Veloce
and FSA.

I *KNOW* that Sugino makes a nice straight arm square taper crankset
because I saw links to images of tthem here about one yearor so ago.

Thanks and cheers

Any bike shop that uses QBP can get you a Sugino Impel for $60. Yes,
it's riveted and has steel rings and weighs a half pound more than
alloy...but it's $60, shifts fine, and will last quite a long time. I
use a set on my utility bike, they're functionally perfect. 110mm BB.

All of my early eBay transactions were conducted via Personal Check.
I was always sure to inform the seller that I had no trouble waiting
for the check to clear before he shipped.

That seemed to work and I never had a problem.
Just something to consider....
