My reply:
I may have caused your confusion when I wrote on a different thread:
Crankset: Stronglight 105bis with Stronglight Ti spindled sealed bearing BB (Stronglight 107 would be a bit more period correct but is Campagnolo NR/SR looking so let's stick with the 105)
If my statement is what caused the confusion, let me clarify. I was commenting that the 107 looked similar to the Campagnolo item when compared to the 105 crankset which has a distinctly different look. The 105 has similar crank arms profiles but the very different and unique to Stronglight "star pattern" inner webs.
The 106 and 107 are very similar looking but not identical to one another. The most notable difference is that the 107 was their top model and although I have looked and cannot find my catalog, I believe the difference is in the metallurgy or way they were manufactured. Someone help me here. Was the 107 forged and the 106 not?
Either way, back to your question which is that the 106 and 107 look very, very similar to one another and could also be claimed as one of the many Campagnolo copies. The 105 is easily seen as being quite different.
Hope that helps a bit.
