Oooh nice. Seller doesn't even mention that the cranks have the Mexico treatment - I'd *love* to have a Mexico crank in my length. He can be forgiven for calling the pedals Super Record, but anyone thinking of bidding should know, those are steel spindles. Most likely means steel BB axle too. Neither is the chainring SR, but who could complain? There's no room for all that fine panto work on an SR.

Just found this photo of Giuseppe Olmo in his Bianchi jersey (along with Binda, Bottecchia, Coppi and others): http://www.torelli.com/italy/racers.shtml
