I have two of the TA Criterium chainwheel sets, bought from Mike Kone. They appear to be a similar inside bolt circle to old Campy 151 BCD, but Sutherlands says they are 152 BCD. I think one has a 44T small ring, which may have been the smallest available. They look like they fit the same RH crankarm as Cyclotourist chainwheel sets. Not sure what I am going to use these for, I think I bought them out of nostalgia, as I had seen many old photos of Beryl Burton using this chainset. Not great for climbing, but then Beryl won her greatest fame as a time trialist, not a grimpere (or whatever the feminine of grimpeur is). Not too many hills in Houston, so maybe I'll yet actually use these cranks.

Regards,
