Subject: [CR]Stronglight and Solibloc pump Info

Hello all,

I need help identifying the some parts I picked up recently. First I have a Stronglight alloy crank set that looks very similar to the TA, Pro three arm crank from the early 70's. I would like to know the model number and vintage. Next is a French non frame fit pump, chromed aluminum and marked 'Tornade Solibloc'. What is this pump's vintage and was this pump considered a low, mid or high end accessory in its day. I have included photo links to aid in identification. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks!
