> TA cranks were introduced around 1960, first > the cottered model... So that's who made those cottered triples we used to see on French touring bikes! This was in the mid 1960s when my friends and I would visit the American Youth Hostels office in Greenwish Village. There would often be people hanging around with these French made randonneur bikes. These would be "old timers" (this was when I was roughly 15, so ny Old Timers I eman guys who were in their 20s). Anyway, the ones I remember best were high quality cottered cranks. Now I know who made them. By the way, these were relatively common in Quebec Province - at least in Youth Hostel circles. Regards, Fred Rednor - Arlington, Virginia
