I see. Because that crank can not change chain ring.

RM75 can get hollowtech M522 without chain ring or full set m4000 crankset.

Actually I do have an M5100 groupset, maybe that one for next time. smile.gif

I got 1 old Raleigh city bike alloy frame too. Too lazy to restore it.

May be next time if can find cheap shimano dynamo hub then can think about it.

You should do it. It is therapeutic.

I saw your bike seem look new, you repaint it ? Your bike put indoor or outdoor?

Last time I put outdoor, steel brake / steel spoke / steel hub / steel brake lever / headset / steel basket / steel rear carrier rack / steel bell all rust. This is why I am too lazy to restore it.

Last time saw this:

but no buy. Now no stock.

I only managed to salvage the fork and the frame.it looks new because after I disassemble it, it gave it a thorough polish.

Has anyone used the Kespor bike? Price-wise is quite cheap with the groupset offered. Is it genuine Shimano hmm.gif
