xtr m970 chainset or just crank arms

[ishaw]

I was hoping to run m970 cranks on my pipedream build. I'm trying to keep it as brit as possible and have a nice new set of m970 middleburn rings to fit to a set of crank arms. The first set of m970 cranks I bought had dodgy splines, the second set are fully working (if a little scruffy), but are 170 arms and I need 175s.

So, I'm looking for a set of m970 arms in 175mm size. I don't really need the bb, rings or fitting tools, but if anyone offers a full set, I'd not rule it out either.

Please help, I was hoping to get cracking on the build (which is mostly m970, hope, use and middleburn) and was awaiting the cranks before breaking out the tools and getting started, but as the cranks are the wrong size, my build plans have stalled and I want to try and get this built up before I have another operation, so I can get out and ride it once I've recovered.

Happy to pay cash or if anyone is after anything retro or modernish in return, I have plenty of bits in the stash so might have something you want/need.

Recently wanted ads have yielded me what I've needed for this build, so thanks to those who've got me this far.

Oh, if you happen to have a black hope headset and/or a hope/use seat post clamp in about 30.0 size, I'd take these as well.

Re:

Little bump to indicate desperation. If anyone wants to trade just a 175 non drive side arm for a full chain set with 170 arms (scruffy, but mechanically fine) and good rings, I'd be up for that.

Other trade options could include Fox talas or rock shox Reba forks, m952 chainset or other m952 parts, middleburn rs3 chainset, syncros (forged) chainset plus much more, just ask and I may have.

I'd certainly consider a black middleburn chainset too, though as I've shelled out quite heavily on m970 middleburn rings, I'd be after a full chainset and rings.
