Component date codes are always appreciated but don't make a special trip to get them. The next time you have to go to shop or are in the vicinity, will be fine. TIA.
The FD has the date code 'OH', Aug. 1972. Both cranks were marked '47-8' and '171.' Did they make a 171 mm crank?. Couldn't find any code on the RD.
