FSA Compact Cranks Supplier

Can anyone recommend a US supplier of FSA compact cranks. Who’s doing the deals at the moment (Tom D - do you stock them??)

I’m based in the UK, but their pounds for dollars over here ($540), so I’m going to import some from the US.

Thanks

I got some carbon ones recently for $300 shipping included from wisecyclebuys.com. Not sure whether they are willing to do overseas but it’s worth a check.

I rushed and ordered some more Assos gear last month from the UK before the dollar lost any more. Historically all governement currencies eventually go to 0 so I try to stay somewhat current.

After reading this thread this morning, I stopped by my LBS while out running at lunchtime. They agreed to match the widespread $329 mail order price, including tax. I’d always rather give them the business than do mail order (but I was serious about walking out if they wouldn’t come within at least $20 of mail order).

I’d say get them off Ebay.

I’ve been trying to get 2 sets from my LBS and this is what they tell me: FSA does not do backorders so the LBS has to call every Monday and ask for them.

LBS: “Do you have 2 compact pro cranks in 170?”
FSA: “Nope try back next week”.
LBS: “Can you call me when they are in?”
FSA: “Nope call back next week”.
LBS: “Can you set them aside for me when they come in?”
FSA: “Nope call back next week”

This has gone on for about 6 weeks. If this is FSA’s attitude what kind of service can I expect if I ever do get the cranks? I’m about at the end of my rope and seriouly thinking about going with Stronglight.
