Putting together a bike for my daughter - the one she currently is using has a cheap one piece triple with 152mm cranks. She has shot up recently and needs something longer. Preferably 165mm (170mm at a push) with a mtb spider (could be a retro 5 bolt!as I think I might have some rings kicking round).

Don’t need to be be pretty, square taper would be fine. Really not fussy!

They do a triple as well. I have a double on my commuter and it’s been great tbh. I’m not particularly slender and I don’t notice any flexing:)

Cheers Gari - nice range of sizes there too. Weirdly looks like they are listing left and right sides separately!

I’m going to hold on a little and see if any second hand gold turns up, but failing that £30 for a brand new set is not bad!

Edit: whoa! £15 a pair! Now we’re talking!
