Joe- People think I am crazy when I say this, but I can distinctly recall seeing an OEM Frejus from about '67 (pre-NR) with one of these Campy Steel Sport/Gran Sport cranks. Cheers, Dave Anderson Cut Bank MT

I also suspect the crank arms cost every bit as much to make as Record arms. Never saw a set retail, only OEM. The three arm GS alloy crank that followed is neat too.
