All you have to do is look at the spacing between the bolt and inner circle . It's 151. It's only rare because it's the old size and they made them with the extra edge for strength so they wouldn't collapse or pretzel when the sprinters put so much pressure on the power train that either the bike went forward or something broke. Plese don't get alarmed children, not rare, just what Campy did to make it a legend in it's own time. Make it strong to last and perform, or make it light and wonder when it will fail. Or spend a fortune which still may not have helped to make LIGHT and STRONG if the metallurgy and technology did not exist except maybe in Buck Rogers'
imagination.
