A lot of left arms and rings listed, precious few rights.

Looks very much like the Gian Robert cranks, and I would be making sure they had no cracks. Mine do, and two out of the three currently on that auction site have them. The crack is somewhere between the inner end of the elongated hole in a crankarm and the square hole in the centre. I think they were cast/formed while hot and in shrinkage developed the stress that causes the cracks.

thanks very much for your response
have your researches led you to learn the actual producer of the Cascella/Gian Robert chainsets?
would think neither concern large eno' to operate their own foundry/forge
so have always assumed them to be subbed

Bikes: More than the people who ride them...oy.
I love the rear wheel nubs...very cool. Definitely an eclectic mix of nostalgia installed on there...
