I have a complete late 1980's Mavic group that I was thinking about selling soon. Everything but the BB, and that is easy to find. Also I plan to keep the wheels, but finding hubs is not a problem. I have a newer crank, I am told, as the arms are not straight, but bent out to give ankle clearance. Only set of Mavic cranks like this I ever owned or saw. It was told to me that they are lighter than regular 631. A Mavic brochure I have mentions something about offset for ankle clearance, but I am unsure about this, as the 631 was celebrated for having straight arms.
Contact me off N.G. if interested. I have to figure out the price. Wanted to sell the stuff hung ona Bianchi 53.5 c-c TSX UL, but we'll see.
