For Sale: Stronglight 57 Super Competition crank set

     One of my favorite crank sets offered for sale today. It is a Stronglight 57 Super Competition, which was introduced in 1957. It uses a 122mm BCD as opposed to the 49D BCD of 50.4mm. The spider is cast as part part of the crank itself in the now standard "star" pattern. This set has English pedal threads and utilizes a half step chain ring combo of 49 / 46T. the arms are 170mm long. This will polish up beautifully. Don't miss out on this opportunity to own a classic of the era!

Stronglight 57 SC crank set!

     Here is one of my favorite crank sets. This one is on a bike we recently acquired. it is the model 57 SC (also called the 57 Super Competition) and was introduced in 1957, hence the name. It has a BCD of 122mm. It also incorporates a distinctive "star" pattern shaped spyder, however said spyder was now cast as part of the drive arm itself, forged as a single unit. It uses 8mm chain ring bolts with either domed or hex heads as opposed to later 10mm allen  head chain ring bolts. They were available in 165- 175mm arm lengths and were intended for road / race use with an effective chain ring capacity of 38-56 teeth, almost exclusively set up as a double. These cranks just look AWESOME! I am glad we now have another set!
