I don't want to replace the whole crankset....yet.
Heh, this is something my BF doesn't get. I don't care about weight. I don't race (nor do I intend to), and I figure there's enough extra kilograms on me that a few extra grams here or there on the bike won't make much difference. Component sexiness, I get. My low-end FSA crankset isn't exactly sexy. However, I can't afford teh sexy at the moment. Perhaps when I replace everything else.
