The cranks are Criterium, but from the same era as 2000 cranks. 2000 arms are slotted more deeply. Some 2000 arms were slotted at multiple different depths, some even slotted all the way through at places. I have several sets as well as several Criterium cranks like the one in you auction. 2000 rings would have been drilled. Some were black anodized as well as drilled. The Criterium cranks of this era were the same as 2000 but without the slotting/drilling. Also, 2000 used a Ti BB, while Criterium used a steel BB. Criterium, IMHO, was still superior to Campy NR, as they would take as small as a 36T ring and weren't prone to cracking at the spider (and pedal hole) like Campy.
