As I mentioned earlier today, 1974ish is my guess. 50-tooth and larger only. My 1973 Paramount didn't have one either, but also don't forget that Schwinn often bought five- or ten-year supplies of Campy parts at a time (think big, be big, think big, be big...)!!! Not a CPSC thing, IMO - too early to have been that, plus, it's not really a safety-related issue. (of course, neither were all of the actual CPSC-mandated changes in 1977, so maybe that isn't such a good analogy)! The length of the pin didn't change in 1977 - it just leaves a slightly bigger gap from then on, with the later-style arms. Greg "no-peg rules!"

Speaking of Campy rings, does anyone know what years the Campy NR large rings were made with the peg on the ouside that kept the chain from falling between the spider and the crankarm? I thought these were on the early NR cranks, but my 1972 Paramount doesn't have it, while my 1984 Trek 6600 does, and I think both chainrings are original. Was this a CPSC thing?

Also the track rings were available in one inch pitch. Sugino made a lot of track rings in 151 BCD and they do not have the reinforcement.

chainring designed for track cranks that differs from their road chainrings?
