Really? Do you have a picture? A part number? Anything?

I know they made a steel cotterless crankset (that beautiful slender Gran Sport.I have one on one of my bikes), but I don't recall ever seeing a steel cottered one, and I've never seen one in any catalog (I just checked 12, 13, 14, & 15).

All,

Campagnolo made a steel cottered chainset in the '50's. I used to own one at that time.

I'd never noticed that these existed, but they're in the catalog...

eBay item 200403311035

NOS from 1958. Probably pretty scarce, and maybe a great (albeit expensive) source of parts if you're trying to piece together another BB from that era with bad cups and races.

Not mine. No known relation. Blah, blah, blah.

So, what crankset would this part have been paired with, anyway?
