GS has more unpolished nooks & crannies, profile more squared than rounded. Not bad looking at all but, lacking that Campag "bling". (May I say "bling" ? Is that Out of Timeline ? : ) ) Actually, the crank I have is in pretty nice condition.

Crank I have does not appear to ever have been disassemble (chain ring bolt heads not rounded; no wear tracks indicating chain ring bolt heads had rotational contact against the ring). Apparently, two different chain ring bolts sizes are used. An inboard located hex. bolt & hex nut secures the large ring to the spider. Several mm's above that hex nut & hex. bolt, is a slightly smaller chain ring bolt that secures the small chain ring to the larger. Yes, a typical chain ring spacer is sandwhiched between the rings. This smaller chain ring bolt consists of a hex. bolt and a typical chain ring nut (slotted barrel).
