When Paul first described this I thought it was that most awesome triple crank, the TA Tevano.

This 5 arm crank is a copy of a 144 BCD Campy NR but with an inner ring of 26 T!

My example is a 52-46-26 suitable for a wide range half step plus granny.

In the US at least, this crank is quite rare. The double chainring versions were a Campy me-to and I guess there was little demand for the triple, despite possibly being the best ever for loaded touring with a half step plus granny.

The outer ring is marked, "DURAL FORGE GARANTIE LEGEOUR" around a TA emblem. The crankset is very pretty! The rings are 52/47/36 for a halfstep plus granny setup.
