    Spa Cycles do Stronglight Impact Compact chainsets, I think at £58 - you'd need a BB. A bit dearer, but you can get 165mm crank arm lengths if that's desirable.

    What about this one for £25?

    http://www.sjscycles.co.uk/product-Unbranded-Alloy-Compact-Double-34-50-170-mm-Steel-Rings-Chainset-13441.htm

    I put one on my hybrid a few weeks ago and it's running fine at the moment.

    Like a streak of lightnin' flashin' cross the sky,
    Like the swiftest arrow whizzin' from a bow,
    Like a mighty cannonball he seems to fly.
    You'll hear about him ever'where you go.

    thanks all.
    Had a look on the sjscycles site,as will need a BB with that.
    Then I thought,I'll need a chain.
