Yes, that's what it is. I have my friend's Trek 640 (1982?) in my basement, and it has those, seemingly the original gruppo. It was a lower line crank from the contemporary Nuovo Record and Super Record, but it is very light, and it strikes me as a good functional piece. Bike rides real nice, at least. Some have sold pretty high on Ebay. I thought the finish was pretty good.

Ahoy !

I have that crank from a dumpster dive Trek of Ishiwata tubing. I have never seen a Campag 3-pin before and know nothing about them other than finding replacement rings - hahahaha. Is this a 3-pin Gran Sport ? Anyway...

Looks like a very crude piece o' work for a Campagnolo component.

Were these O.E.M. on any bikes ?

Some general comments, please, just so I have a frame of reference for this artifact.

Thank you.
