FSA Chainsets from overseas.

[Dixie]

Looking to buy a new chainset. Quite like the look of a the FSA SL-k Light.

However, there seems to be a bit of a discrepancy in the price of these items. CRC and co sell them for about 350 quid. On ebay you can pay as little as 150 for a new one from the US\Italy\Tiawan\Ukrain.

Has anyone ever bought one from overseas? Was it all to good to be true?

ISTR there have been quite a few issues with fake FSA parts on fleabay etc.

Maybe I should put a post up on a forum to find out more information!!

Hmmmmmm, maybe I don't need a new chainset afterall.

An FSA Chainset would not be my first choice under pretty much any circumstances to be honest, they're not worth the price point typically put on them.

If you need BB30 then I'd go either SRAM or Rotor (or if you can stretch to them, SiSl2).

If BSA then it's in general got to be Shimano Ultegra, or older Ultra Torque campag if you can find them.

Thanks. The more I read the less I like them. Looking at red and force now. Birthday money burning a hole in my pocket.
