Subject: [CR]TA cranks addendum

During research on Goeland bikes for the next VBQ, I came across a report from the Paris bike show 1962, where the square-taper TA cranks were introduced.

The report said that the new cranks had come about at the request of professional racers, but that the existing model with the special cotter would remain available. So at least for a while, both models were available. This makes dating bikes much harder...
