Oddly enough, they used the Strada cranks. They are stamped Strada on the inside of the arms. Prior to anodizing, they machined off the inner "ledge" that supports the inner chain ring. Now why didn't they just use Pista arms?

Gold, red, blue, green and ?

Is there a difference between Campagnolo track and their bmx cranks? I have never seen in person BMX cranks, and those that I see auctioned and described on Ebay don't show the underside to determine whether they are marked differently than track or road? I guess the point of my question is, though it's taken a bit to get there, did Campagnolo make a specific crank for the bmx market and if so, what are its markings other than the blue or gold anodizing?

Thank you.
