The chainset is the same sort of pattern (Y = shaped) as Chater Lea and the bottom bracket is an unusual set up.

Was this set up with "inside out" cups (concave out) and an adjustable cone on the BB? That would be really wild, a triumph of doing it differently almost for its own sake. Really neat, and beautiful photos!
