According to the vintage Cresecent ad on the CR site, the stainless steel frame was available in three models: All Campy NR, Sugino Maxy/Nuovo Tipo hubs, etc. and the bottom model with Sugino Maxy, etc. The ad claims all three models had the same frame, which was definitely not the case with the normal painted steel models. One might get quite a bargain on the bottom stainless model if one ran across one.

here is a link to a picture of the crescent that i have.
