Hello Tom,

Yes, Campagnolo did make a cottered spindle. Check out the FB crank on my 1952 Cinelli Mod B restoration project. The Campagnolo cottered spindle came out much later than the '52 Cinelli, I had to use it-- it was too cool to exclude. I think that the 'C' on the Legnano is a generic Magistroni spindle. The Campagnolo cottered spindle is what the NR sidepulls are to Universal Mod 68 sidepulls.

The cups and lock ring to the bottom bracket are unmarked, but the spindle has a "C" marked in the middle, and I remembered that I have another one in the garage and meant to ask the same question when I discovered it, but forgot. Lest I forget again, I am asking now with greasey fingers, mucking up the keyboard.

Thank you.

Cheers.
