yumm! shiny and pretty (and good light).

I don't have any experience with steel cottered cranks, beyond my first ten speed (a lugged Montgomery Wards bike). This FB crankset is much more slender and sleek.
The chainring is quite slender too... how close was the weight to an alloy crankset of that era? Imagine a lightweight crankset where the chainring wore like steel! (because it *was* steel)

Thanks for sharing!
