Anyone know in what time span the Ofmega Mistal crank was originally available? I alway thought the crank looked very cool. And having a number of bikes for which all-Campy (except brakes) is the only correct equipment, including three Paramounts, Two Raleigh Pros and an International, a Windsor Pro, an Allegro Special and a Legnano Tipo Roma, I get a bit bored with the all-Campy thing. So I have several Italian framesets, mostly earlty to mid 80's that I'd like to build up with Italian but non-Campy bits, incuding two Gianni Mottas, a Torpado and as Masi Prestige. The Mistral seems like a good option, but I'm not sure if it was around in the On-Topic early 80's, or only later in that decade.
