MM:

Why would you consider GS cranks to be outside of the CR timeframe? They are listed in the 1982 catalog, and were contemporary with R and SR before the "laser-etched" period.... Are you perhaps thinking of the later Victory and Triomphe cranks with the same chainrings?

Campy listed 35-43 and 50-53 chainrings for these cranks, BTW. 36/52 seemed to be a common setup IIRC.
