FREETruVativ Team Stylo non-drive crank arm & set of '03 Egg Beaters: PRICELESS!!!
Kudos to both TruVativ & Crank Bros on great customer service. Although my new crank arm did not arrive on thursday as promised, beggers can't be choosey.
and super kudos to Kevin Westcott at Crank Bro's for offering to send me a brand spanking new pair of '03 pedals!
i just love happy endings.

| Are you trying to tell us... | Fat-tire
Jul 1, 2003 9:50 AM | | that you did Sunday's Mt bike race with one crank? Now I know you're BSing us :-)
Crank Bros rule. They actually set me up with a pair of eggbeaters at dealer prices ($40), after I replied to some post here about a year ago. I told them my only complaint of the pedals was that you can't find them anywhere. He faxed me over an order sheet. I sent in my $40, and a week later, had new Eggbeaters. |
