Hi All,

I'm new to the list, and I feel compelled to throw in my two cents' worth on this one.

What's up with those Campy chain rings? I don't remember seeing anything like them in Cat-17. But, I've seen inner rings like that from SR. The outer ring looks like a cut-up later model (see safety stud). Those with a sharp eye may notice the finish on the arm/spider seems to be in marked contrast from the ring -- they match on my old bikes.

With Italian BB threads, who cares if the cups are reversed -- it works? But, it isn't the mark an experienced tech. What concerns me is that the BB axle seems to be in backwards!!! Look how closely the spider is to the cup and the big gap at the left arm!! I've been away from bikes for some time, is this some new method of improving the chain line?
