Title says all. No picture.

Found one at a local shop a few days ago (NOS, no less), but I couldn't quite make heads or tail of it. I know the '84s were the only versions to have engraved shield logos (and the crankarm is dated [11]), and it was indeed a C-Record pista arm (permanently-installed, press-fit chainring bolts, no inner chainring shelf), but it was a 175mm. Velobase doesn't even account for the later ones in 175mm.

Oddball? Rare as heck? You tell me.

I'd say regular production.

We'll see. I'm going to put some time towards their NOS Mavic 631 Starfish crankset first. That's a 180mm set though - not ideal.

175 is not out of the question for C-Record Pista production then - correct?

EDIT: Just checked Catalog 18. Looks as if they produced them from 165mm through 180.

Found an orphaned left 175mm crank arm. Not engraved but still campy.

Date code?
Era (pre-'95 shield or post-'95 lettered)?
Price?

If I recall right, both the circle-4 and square-11 codes refer to 1984.

I don't know, I am pretty confident Circle 4 is '84, perhaps someone else has a useful contribution.

175mm seems long for a pista arm, no?

I would think it's for a very tall rider with a big frame set.

Possibly pursuit, hour record attempts, etc.
