There was a three-arm Grand Sport crank which appeared on the Raleigh Competition GS. Are you saying it takes different size chainring bolts than the Campy NR/SR five arm cranks? That surprises me, although I learn something every day.

Yes, 9mm in diameter, not the normal 10mm. I have a '78 Raleigh Competition GS. The crank is Campy but only has 3 arms, might be part of the nuovo gran sport group (?). I've looked on ebay, shopped online, brick & mortar bike shops - no luck. Can anyone help? It would be much appreciated!

Since I'm a newbie, a little about me: 52 y.o. live in bay area, my 1st "serious" bike was a '72 Raleigh Super Course, ended up selling it in early '80s and have missed it ever since. Bought a Peugeot PH10 to replace it and have ridden that up until now but it just wasn't the same. I've always lusted after a full Campy bike so finally "upgraded"

to a '78 Raleigh Comp GS a couple months ago and have since been picking up parts from ebay (mostly) to bring it back to original condition. I have learned a lot just by lurking around the archives here. Thanks for allowing me to join the group!
