In answer to Wayne's query regarding these unusual cranks. They appeared on the cycling scene in Italy there country of manufacture in 1979/80. They were imported into the UK by Saba in early 1980. At least one rider was equipped with these cranks in the 1980 North Road Hard-rider's time trial.This is normally a February event weather permitting. From March onwards they were readily available in the UK shops. They found favour with the big geared time triallist's as it was thought that they had an advantage when pedalling slower, rolling their huge gears. It was also said that they helped hill climbing when sitting back in the saddle. On the downside no advantage was recorded when revving fast in a low gear and they were very expensive £96.00 cranks only. As to what the initials stand for I have no idea.
