cheap XT crankset?

[tuba_transport]

I found what looks like a killer deal on an XT crankset.

Shipped cost to the US is $178. Anyone know of a better deal. Locally would be awesome!

Building up a backup bike and plan to recycle some square taper Sugino cranks but the chainrings are pretty well shot and the cranks are flexy. Hoping to pick up RF Deus XCs or $himano XTs or equivalent integrated crankset for a reasonable price.

you might try the cambria "price smash" where they say they'll beat a price by 10% or something, you'd save on shipping that way too.
I'd guess you'll be in the "1% or prise smash requests that are denied" though - seems like whenever I use that the order is in the 1% :rolleyes:

all it costs is time, maybe you'll get lucky, could save you a couple $

Hahaha. Perfect timing;) We have a few extra pairs coming in because I *KNEW* someone would want them (split order w/ a coworker & saved shipping). Should be in next week. I was going to sell any leftovers on ebay after our friends picked though em'. $165 and I'll put your name on a set. I think we ordered both 175mm and 180mm(though I think the 180s were $10 more). I can deliver to few places (will likely be @ rosaryville for the indian head 100 next weekend) and my wife works down near landmark mall...

Edit: Just to be upfront - I *AM* making a little money off each one at that price but Im the one that fronted the money too;)
