Hello Folks!

Can anyone confirm that 1/8" track chainrings (specifically Campy) were ever pantographed?

I have seen panto'd chainrings on track bikes in catalogs, for example:

http://bulgier.net/pics/bike/Catalogs/eddy_merckx/11.jpg http://bulgier.net/pics/bike/Catalogs/rossin/7.jpg

... but I've never seen them in person or for sale on le'ebay.

Could these catalog examples simply have 3/32" road chainrings mounted for the photoshoot to 'improve their aestthetic'?

Were 3/32" chainrings often ran on track bikes in the 70's/80's?

Hmmmmmm.....
