Campagnolo offered 151pcd (and, later, 144pcd) track cranks in 165, 167.5, 170, 172.5, 175. 177.5 & 180mm lenghths. If memory serves, Miguel Indurain used 185mm cranks, apparently based on the Nuovo Record forging to break the Hour Record in 1994. David Benson, Auckland, NZ

>They also did make 170 NR (151mm BCD) track cranks in the late 60's, although I would guess that 165 was the most popular size. I have both 165's and 170's for my '73 Eisentraut. There is no date code on the back.
