Original cranks were Ofmega Mistral which have a big following. Weird oblong piece and Stronglight chainring make me suspect that the Mistrals may be long gone.
Original shifting was Suntour Superbe and brakes were the very nice Dia Compe AGC 300. All nice bits if still on this bike. This was a lean, mean 22lb racing machine it its day. I'm just afraid the chrome is too far gone.
