Dead Sugino Crank

The BB spindle is in excellent condition. Not a single scratch from the saw blade!; January 19, 2009 at 9:55 AM

nice work sawing through that crank... for a second I was reminded of the supposed burring-and-breaking problem with the old Campy BMX cranks.

Glad to hear this wasn't a similar problem.
