The odd thing? It came with a compact crankset! Why in the world would they sell a tri bike with 650 wheels with a compact? I actually topped out on my road bike (also 650's) in a flat race this summer with a 52T large ring. On a tri bike? There is NO WAY a 50T ring will be big enough! I'm now shopping for a replacement.

Anyone have an extra standard double crankset with 165mm arms lying around unused?

Once I get it fully put together, I promise to take photos.
Compacts were made for triathlete s

I have a standard that I HATE. Lemmie check the length of the arms. Ridden a very very few times, and I took it off, cause I like my compact. Mine is an ultegra.
