I also noticed that the crankset on the right (#365, the right hand threaded Triomphe?) the spider section is more heavily machine and delicate looking. That strikes me as a bit ironic since I would have thought this was the less expensive of the two cranksets. Of course, in the Campi-land of that era all sorts of strange phenomena were possible.

By the way, what an education I'm getting this week about various esoterica. I used to think all steel Cinelli stems had badges. This week I learned this isn't true. I used to think the Victory and Triomphe cranksets were the same except for the quality of the polishing. Now I've learned that to be incorrect. Amazing...
