What is cheap out there?

I would like 100mm bb (preferably included), double compatible or single for now.

Cheapest available for initial build on an on-one fatty.

any ideas?

Actually not that useful apart from the link.

Anyway - what have people been fitting to their rolling chassis builds?

Truvativ look like they have the best range, but I was just wondering what the uber cheap option could be.

I fitted an old ISIS set of RF Turbine arms and a 100mm BB, they come up on ebay or can still be purchased new. I think I paid something like £25 for the arms and £40 for the BB.

Try getting in touch with these guys. They had a bit of a selection.

Cool - just ordered a Howitzer bb from Bike-discount for about £32 and a Holzfeller chainset from Merlin for £50! The chainsets seem a bargain. Went double and bash but will run single to start with with a 12-36 cassette.
