    90s Triple Crankset 46/48T

    Finding my current triple Stx RC crankset of 42/32/22 a bit spinny. Looking for a 90s shimano triple crankset (ie 6/7/8 speed) with 28/38/48 or 26/36/46 or similar to replace it with. Doesn't seem to be much available to buy on ebay. Let me know if you have anything!
