Amen. A Sugino catalog from the day offered endless variations. Even a TA Cyclotourist copy. And there later Maxy cranks that were not swaged. The Mighty Tour was the same quality as the Mighty Compe. And there were versions with cut out spiders and the great Mighty Victory rings that were thick in section but all milled down so stiff and light. By the way, Sugino Might Compe cranks have a cut at the spider joint and don't start a crack like Campy. Also the Mighty Compe changed alot over time. There must be 10 variations.

The Maxy crank came in a bewildering number of styles. I had a 5-arm Maxy with 144mm BCD.
