Most likely out of time line but the crank shows some details I've never seen. It looks like some kind of chainguard attached to the frame and 5 pieces outside the chainring to act as chainguards as well. I can see having something to keep the chain from damaging carbon tubes fairly early in the experimentation phase of carbon bikes. Has anyone else seen anything like this?

This bike is actually within the timeline. The chainguard attachments appear to be ICS accessories. ICS, based in Switzerland made some very 'edgy' accessories for Campagnolo that were highly respected. Campagnolo even incorporated some of the modifications into their production.
