Tom asked: Prior to the current generation Record cranks, did Campy make alloy chainring bolts? snip: Anyway, it is marked "Patent."
tom,
I guess they did, since you have one... but I've never seen a crank with alloy chainring bolts with "patent". My source of catalogs I just checked from 1986 to present, and they all say "brev"... so the mystery continues.
