This is a real beauty. How come you're selling it?
Posted almost 9 years ago
Thanks! Well I've given up on selling it, I had it up on a few sites for a few weeks and got no bites at all not even interests. I hardly ride it cause i'm just not in love with the ride characteristics, and figured i might be happier with a new frame or a full new build, but it's not really worth dealing with right now. I think I'll just keep it unless someone offers a decent trade at some point or until I can save the money to get a new frame or build going then sell this without being in a rush to put the money toward a replacement project.

Looks like we were on the same boat, I didn't like how it rode either and got no bites for a long time until eventually someone wanted to trade locally. Good luck if you decide to continue trying!

My bike almost looks like yours .
The crank I, using ATM is the sugino messenger, pretty decent. I wouldn't race with it but for riding around town it's nice.
I do want a 144 BCD crank though for track.
Can't decode between the Dura-Ace 7600 or sugino 75 .. Both with Zen Chainring.

Yea, the 75's have a nostalgic value to them also.
They just have that Japanese track look to em.

My my... Now those are somthin'...

Hey, why are u switching to 75's?
I'm deciding between 75 or ominiums.. What do u prefer..?

look way better. serviceable bb. I'm just tired of the omniums. idk omniums are a great crank especially for the money the stock gxp bb is garbage tho. but a set of omniums and a new nicer bb is still cheaper than 75s if you're being budget minded

awesome build! i would totally agree with the decision to get a 75. hopefully i'll get one of these in the future. maybe slam that wheel a little more in the cutout if possible haha

Looked it up: That BB is the "Protype" available at Ben's cycle for $35. It gives a perfect chain line and will let your cranks last at least two or three times longer. Check it out.

I know what you mean. I like my hubs and headsets to have bearings that are serviceable. Bottom brackets though, especially square taper will wear faster if you have to remove/install each year for service. I prefer a sealed BB for that reason on my square taper cranks- even Phil Wood. There is a sealed BB unit especially made for the Sugino 75 which I installed on one of my bikes and it works very well. I don't remember who carries it, but a quick search should find it. Good luck, enjoy the bike

Nice. I used to have one and loved the ride on the track. Why Sugino 75 cranks in place of Omniums?
Posted about 10 years ago
thanks. half is me preferring the aesthetics and prestige of the 75s other half is me preferring the classic cup-and-cone over cartridge bearings, I like to be able to service my bearings easily. I do like the omniums though, they are a great value.
