Might be wrong, but suspect you'd struggle to buy both chainrings alone for less than that.

You are probably right, anyway forget my enthusiasm about getting one as I would be missing a left hand crank!

Why? It's a chainset they're selling. Looks like a complete 'steal' to me.

They wouldn’t sell it without a left hand crank.

Yes they do, hence they advertise it as a chainset as opposed to a crank set. The item for sale there is only for the drive side, i.e the chain set.

Have a look at the 'Product Questions'
This confirms it also includes the non drive side crank arm.

You are wrong, It will be a full chain set with both crank arms!
They list them all as chain sets, see below, what are they selling there?

I know you have this sorted but. A 'crankset' is just the cranks (no chainrings (or chainring bolts)): a 'chainset' is the full monty.

Yes, I must apologise to all who tried to put me right. The daft thing is I have purchased similar in the past and got both sides so what persuaded my ageing brain I was only getting one side I really do not know!!
So, apologies to each and all and thank you to @Spiderweb for the original post showing the deal.

That deal has been going for a while and while it looks good, the tyres they send are not the ones advertised. I got tyres with Raceguard puncture protection and a much lighter weight. Mine measured 580g, think the official weight is c. 800g for 38mm.
The tread appeared to match that advertised.
I suspect there was a mistake at their offshore factory whereby a different carcass was moulded to the correct tread so are offloading these cheaply. The tyres come as OEM so no Schwalbe packaging
Ribble don’t seem to be selling these direct. I think they’re acting as agents for whoever is offloading these. Schwalbe?
When I flagged it to Ribble they apologised and said their website had an error in the description. There wasn’t an error. Their description was correct and as per Schwalbe. The tyres appear to be mis-manufactured and they likely hoped nobody would notice.
Anyhow, I couldn’t be arsed returning so they’re in the garage awaiting some roughstuff. They’re good for £10. Just don’t expect to receive what’s advertised.
Think @albion amongst others got similar tyres as I.

@vickster was there first! Worth a read of the subsequent chat from several who bought (click on 'vickster:' in the quote)
