On the Le Tour, I don't mind it so much.<br /><br />The crank arms are Origin-8, in gray. They make other colors, as well as silver and black. Some messengers are using them, and they're cheap. Plus, they take 110 BCD rings (the same diameter as what's on your Alpina) and a 107 mm bottom bracket, and I just happened to have both. Go to eBay and type "fixed gear cranks" or "single speed cranks" into the search browser; a number of places auction or sell them.<br /><br />As for my rack...well, I haven't had anyone try to steal a rack on any of my commuter, knock on wood (she says as she taps her head with her knuckles).Justine Valinottihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10852069587181432102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8908461644259659419.post-39808102387002590062010-10-21T18:35:28.173-07:002010-10-21T18:35:28.173-07:00What are the crank-arms that you got?

I might need an extra pair soon, for a classic 3-speed, and these look about right. <br /><br />The Le Tour looks very happy to be undergoing all this sprucing up, I think I see her beaming! How do you like that VO saddle?Velouriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00359329171411037482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8908461644259659419.post-92108289095172685342010-10-21T17:57:19.959-07:002010-10-21T17:57:19.959-07:00So, how do you keep them from stealing the rack?So, how do you keep them from stealing the rack?Steve Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13650405341304401203noreply@blogger.com
