Hi Guys,
I"m kind of newbie here and putting a new bike together. I'm buying 75 Cranks, 46t Ring, and BB and a EAI Cog 17t for $340. I'm meeting with the guy and need to know what to look for. Is there certain areas I should look at to see if the parts are not up to par? Also is that a decent price? Any Input would help...
Thanks,
Andy -

you could get all that stuff for less than $340 new. look for a better deal. plus, is it even the matching s75 bb that it comes with, or some other generic downgrade square taper bb? -

You can really find all the stuff brand new for less than $340? -

that's still a lot. even if everything were in pristine condition, with obviously absolutely no use, you still wouldn't be getting a deal. -

Yup. You can get the 75 cranks with a 49t chain ring with a bottom bracket for 340 shipped. The cog would be another 25-30 bucks from somewhere else. If you're picking this up used, definitely haggle him on that cost, otherwise just spend the (literal) few extra bucks and get them new. -

And I'm not even sure it would fit my Mark V. Thanks GUYs for the input -

Okay the guy agreed on selling the Sugino 75 BB, Cranks, and S75 Chainring w/ EAI 17t Cog for $310. ( less than 50 miles )
The best price I got so far:
NIB Second Hand/ NEW Sugino 75 BB $90
NIB Sugino 75 165mm Cranks $200
Used 47t and EAI 18t Cog $95
Total $385
So A difference of 75 Bucks.... What do you think? -

If something is used it has to be at least 1/3 off of the new price before I even start considering it. -

I'm selling sugino 75s with a zen chainring and a phil wood bottom bracket on ebay right now, you should see if you can swoop that before you try and buy those other ones. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&item=300330823273#ht_500wt_1182
