Here's the next batch from my "I always wanted one" and now still collecting dust pile:

Edco Competition crank, circa '82 or thereabouts, 170 52/42, with burgundy/red screened logos. Chainrings have minimal wear other than markings on the inside of the big ring from shifting. But, the previous owner dropped the chain off the big ring at least once, causing some scratching on one of the spider arms. No dustcaps (they were cheap and ugly anyway, remember?) So, a rider obviously, and not for the "Hang it on the Wall" art bike. Still IMHO the sexiest on-topic crank ever made, and the one of the first to break the classic NR arm profile for a more "aero" look. Again, IMHO only bettered by the 1st gen C-Record. Pictures on request. $85 shipped CONUS.

NOS NIB Edco Competition bottom bracket, English, 122mm spindle, alloy cups and lockrings. Sealed cartridge bearings and rubber lip seals on the cups, includes steel crank bolts. Originally made for the triple version of this crank (double spindle was 117mm, IIRC) but great for chainline problems due to the design (both sides have adjustable cups and lockrings) and for that bike you spread the rear end on to fit your indexing cassette hub. $65 shipped, or buy it with the crank for $125 total.

Thanks.
