I’ve destroyed a work of art.

[Hover Fly]

Local flea market had a display of a pair of Campagnolo. Cranks, hubs and various other bits, mounted on a board and framed, £35. Looking closer I saw that the cranks were the rare as hens teeth Gran sport with 5, 116 bcd arms, only made for a year or so. Now mine, hardboard backing in the bin. Need a frame for the bits.

Not quite like destroying the Mona Lisa, but hells bells.

I hope you didn't throw tomato soup over it first!

Just stop 3-in-1!

The beauty is in the utility.

Be an even better thread with photos

 

[roley poley]

your work of art was designed to be a mobile and will be shown in a much nicer frame

What kind of frame, Italian or bespoke British iron.?

Saw thread title - wondered what flavour soup you'd chosen ...

Russian cast iron. You can't beat a Mokva Revolution Cycle Works Red October singlespeed when you're in a sporty mood.

I met a bloke on a train once - we were negotiating use of the bike spaces - with a soviet era track bike.

It just looked like an old track bike.

Have you checked the availability of 116 bcd 5 bolt chain rings?

Probably put the cranks on the RRA to replace the Stronglight by Sugino that are on and don’t really look right.
