70-SP and 70-SPc.
I understand that 70 is the Italian width and that S is strada and P is pista. The "c" is supposedly for corsa or c-record. So what is 70-SP? Is that a later designation? Is it for the early 90s Record crank (not for the c-record cranks)? Or are they exactly the same? Then there is the issue of finding the right cups and bearings.
"70-SP" is pre-1990 C-Record; "70-SP C" is post-1990 C-Record. Note that they use different ball sizes and are thus not interchangeable and need the proper corresponding cups.
