Milremo was a brand trademark shared between Andre Bertin and Ron Kitching (I assume it originated with Bertin but Kitching added a lot of value through his energetic promtion). Most components were manufactured by other well known makers and just relabeled. (Rims were Super Champion I think) There were a few unique products or products so highly customized that they appeared unique. (brakes, for instance)

I just purchased a bicycle with steel cottered Milremo cranks that have the five bolt pattern for TA cyclotourist chainrings. I'm curious where these were made, when they began production and for how long they were made. I'm not a big fan of steel cottered cranks, but with the ease of changing chainrings so easily, it seems like a nice setup to have. They came on a Jack Taylor Mixte, beautiful frame, but with a moderate range group of parts. Could anyone please tell me more about these cranks?
Happy trails,
