Dion,
I might be able to help you out. I think I bought some original Stronglight rings in 40T not long ago at a swap meet. Problem is I have a chairing fetish combined with a strong liking for Stronglight 93 cranksets. I'm not positive I can part with what I have unless you have something tasty (chainringwise) to trade. Have any Campag. track chainrings larger than 66 T? I'll trade you. Other TA or Stronglight rings might do it. Anything useful in Stronglight 93 rings in TRACK pitch would get my attention.

Is anyone willing to part with chainrings for Stronglight 93 (BCD 122) in smaller sizes (42, 40, or 38), or an entire 93 or 49 crankset? I need two small rings, not necessarily in the same size.
I can trade or sell a 52 ring for the model 99? (BCD 85 or 86 mm) -- if anyone's interested, I'll dig it out and give you more details off list.
Are the 93 rings interchangable with the small rings on Stronglight 49 cranks? That appears to be the case, since the BCD seems to measure out at 122mm, though the design is a little different -- an extra reinforcement ring on the 93 -- might just be to provide added support for some sizes.
