Campy Crankset Question
My Paramount came to me equipped with a 3-spoke Gran Sport crankset. I really like the minimalist look. Am I losing anything, performance-wise, compared to a Record crankset?

Just sell them to me and I'll find you a triple to replace it. Seriously these are fetching more on ebay on then NR/SR crankset from my watching. I've been searching for this crankset but not looking to pay ebay prices. I think it's one of the nicest looking vintage cranksets up there with the Herse cranksets.

Saw one of those at the Portland Or NAHBS a couple of years ago. A builder in Sisters Or, had one on his bike. I don't have a pic.

That is one slender crank arm. That crankset is... what? Looks older... and supercool.
