*Summary*: WTB affordable 30x46t double crankset with 175mm crankarms. Sugino would be great but open to other options. A triple that has (or can have) the outer chain ring position replaced with a chain guard would work just as well.
*Details*: I am building a bike for my brother-in-law (VO Campeur frame) with components left over from my Hillborne and Cheviot builds. I'd like to include a 2x9 drive train with the chainrings of 30t and 46t. Cassette is XT 11-34t. I understand there are several options for this and I'm not picky though this is a budget, mostly spare parts build so cheaper is better: - Sugino double or a Sugino triple by mounting the 46T ring in the center position and using the outer for a chain guard. OX901D, OX601D XD2, XD600, XD500or similar - Velo Orange double crankset <https://velo-orange.com/collections/cranks/products/grand-cru-50-4bcd-crankset-mkii> - IRD Defiant Wide Compact <http://www.interlocracing.com/crank-arms-chainrings/defiant-wide-compact-road-crank-set> - FSA Omega Adventure Crankset <https://www.treefortbikes.com/FSA-Omega-Adventure-Crankset-46-30t> - Random mountain bike crankset that you think I can make work? I'm open to any suggestions or ideas. Brother in law is coming from a 1984 Palo Alto (Italian steel race bike) that is WAY too small for him at 6'3" and 34" long trousers. Also looking to buy: 1. 700c, 135mm wide rear wheel 9 speed compatible, 32h or 36h, can fit a 32-42mm wide tire ... it will pair with my front wheel that's an LX hub with Atlas rim, likely 38mm Marathon tires 2. Cantilever (CR720 or CR710 or similar) or mini-V-brakes (930AL or 930AL) compatible with Dia Compe SS6 levers (sweptback bars, Jones H 660mm or Albatross 56cm) 3. Downtube shifters 4. If you have a dropbar that 44cm wide and brakes levers I could use that instead of my sweptback bars if the price is right. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
