I have a Carmina with 180 cranks that I am looking to switch away from, it's currently set up as a triple but I think it's configurable to a double if I remember correctly. 50-38-26 crank rings as it sets.
The Q factor is too narrow for my comfort and I want to go back to 175s. Either the 180s, or the Q factor, or both, make my knees hurt. I acquired it in 2007 prior to the Portland-Glacier 1000K and rode it the rest of the brevet season in 2007 and also in 2008 but not much since then. I've been mainly riding my Paul Taylor since then which has an Ultegra/105 crankset on it. So I would say overall it might have 7000-8000 kilometers on it. Make me a reasonable offer and it can be yours. I think I paid the shop $500 for it installed with the TA bottom bracket and shop labor in 2007. Obviously the labor charge wouldn't figure in and you may not want the TA bottom bracket. But if you do it's been rock solid. It hasn't ever been ridden in a hard rain, only a little drizzle here and there. Haven't touched any of it since it's been installed other than to oil the chain. It's had two chains on it since new. Selling it would help me fund my 650b upgrade so it would really be a win win. Anyway let me know ifn you're interested.
