>>1153174You could've even bought used Sugino cranks on eBay for $40 with chainrings that still had life left to them. Why you'd listen to Grant "wrap your $100 Nitto bar with twine" Peterson about what components you should be putting on your bike is a mystery though.
Sugino does make really good stuff though, and it looks good too. Just not the XD600 though, I hate the stupid logo they put on those. I meme myself into buying a bunch of Sugino and Nitto components because weeb, but I'm used to throwing money at Japanese web stores.
