budget-conscious compact crankset

[cce]

bought a lovely tiny Giant TCR for a tiny friend today - problem being it's got 175mm cranks with 53/39 which could really do with being changed on a small budget, so i'm looking for 50/34 and 170mm or shorter arms for not too much money.

Cheers!

Re:

Is £48 too much?

Spa cycles are selling stronglight compact doubles in a variety of crank lengths

do they really need to be 170? I can do a 175 double compact 110bcd for £25 posted

Re:

What is your budget? Also, do you have a preference for whether it's square taper, octalink etc

Re:

Sub 30 really. It's got a square taper BB at the mo, which I haven't checked the axle length or condition of.

Hows about an FSA chainset, external BB and some compact rings for £29 posted?

*arm length dependant - I've not used this and camt remember the size

**bugger - 172.5mm

I have a 165mm Stronglight compact cranks. Probably the same as that mentioned above. The original chainrings are gone but I have a few sets I could fit if you don't have one yourself. Any interest?
