Ken & All,
The bcd on that crankset didn't look like 144 to me, but I should have paid more attention to the crankarms, as they are definitely not 99 crankarms. What threw me off are the holes in the chainrings just above the chainring bolts. The only Stronglight drilled rings I have with those holes are on 99's. The 105's & 106's do not have those particular holes. But then we all know how peculiar French items can be!!??
If all parts on that bike are original, the hubs/rims put it at late '70's or even a bit newer (early '80's). BC is right - it would look stunning with OR-10's!!!
