Thanks.
The "new" Stronglights are still around, but the old ones are getting a little harder to find (for me) same with the chainrings, which used to be sort of cheap, but sort of soft and prone to wear more quickly than others. I'd stay away from Nervar, not because they're French, but because they have a unique BCD that's very hard to find chainrings to fit...otherwise, I like the look of them, but...You could cheat a little and get a Mavic "starfish" crank, a little later than '84, but very stylish and durable. As far as the "2nd-string" Italian cranks, I've been very pleased with Galli and Gipiemme, a little less with Ofmega (also sold as Avocet in the US) and I think the Sugino "Mighty" clone is just fine.
