The Odyssey is fine, if a little cheap looking.

That's another option too, there were loads last week. Don't buy that one piece crank unless you love the old skool.

And use the black Salt pedals I will send you. Don't forget I have a chain disk. It's heavy but it's decent looking and hey, it will work.

I also recommend those. That's a great price.

Oh OK cool man.

Sorry buddy, missed your question. It will either be a sticker on the crank arm (hair dryer degunk) or a silk screen print. If it's the latter you can buff it off.

Also, if you buy one piece arms the pedals I am sending you won't fit, you will need to buy 1/2" pedals.

If you get stuck then use Youtube as a guide. You will always find very helpful info on there.

I will get you some shipping quotes now fella. Just need to measure/weigh etc.
