Fixed Gear, meet BMX; BMX, Fixed
Good solid track stuff is expensive, so what's a hammering fixed gear commuter to do for a solid crank - maybe even in a 165mm? Here's the FSA Newtron, a beefy alloy crankset for ISIS drive at $60. Wow. They come as short as 160mm or as long as 180mm (those crazy BMX'ers). You may know FSA as Tien Hsin Industries, or maybe not. They have been making Cane Creek headsets for years, now they own that name too. What, you thought Cane Creek made that stuff themselves?
