Dale et al,

no, but a couple of years ago I traded a three-pin Campagnolo Gran Sport crankset with Aquila pantographing to list member Mark Poore (if my memory serves me). The set was bought with three other CGS three-pins from a small bike shop in Stockholm with an italian and racing orientation for a low sum as old stuff hanging around. Two 150 mms now just lying in a drawer and one more 170 mm now adorning my daughters Crescent.

never seen an actual bike
