Garth!
I know what you are talking about, I rode the basic 170mm for many years. Built up a new ride one day and the only thing I was able to find at the time 172.5, I could feel the difference as well. For some reason I felt better using a 172.5. Since then it's been no other. With that said we do have 172.5 NOS Superbe Pro arms, Right side is factory sealed while the left is in a plastic sleeve. These are stocks for our relocation. Any others interested, we have 12 sets and we'll let 2 sets go for the price of $ 90.- pp.............Plus of course the shipping cost as well, via Standard mail $ 14.-, Priority $ 27.-.
Also we'll be having NOS TEVANO crank arm sets as well, 172.5mm and 175mm. Price $ 110.- per set.
BTW!.................TEVANO crank arms. A list member, of which I cannot remember his name is in need of a set of matching arms....................Do get in touch..............We'll be dragging these arms with us to the States.
Paypal is best.
