What crank is this???? Norta????
This is on a bike I got to strip parts off from, yet I have no clue what this crankset is. Have you guys seen this before? This bike also has first generation dura ace brake calipers, a campy head set, campy hubs, and shimano 600 dérailleurs. I think it reads "Norta"??? If so, I think it was an old Belgian bike brand. Also, one of the dust caps on the crank reads Sakae, but I don't think the crank is an Sakae because the other dust cap says nothing and no where on the crank itself does it read Sakae. But who knows. What do you guys think? I really like the look of this crank because of all the drilling. So far I think it will go on my PH8 as an upgrade from cottered cranks.

Probably produced by SR ~ Sakae Ringyo (model "Apex"?), but on behalf of Norta - not too unusual at that time.

What is the BCD? (It is probably 144mm if that inner ring is a 42T.) A proprietary BCD such as 122mm (Stronglight) or 128mm (Nervar) would have clinched the identity, but probably no such luck here.
Does anyone think this might be a Sugino crankset?

I doubt that it's an "Apex" since I have one also and they don't look alike, but who knows.

I'll check it out when I get home. I'm still trying to finish putting together another bike, but this bike with the crank and another one that I've yet to inspect closer are going to be stripped of everything.

Bikes: Crap. The box is not big enough...
sorry, I didn't look closely enough...not a sticker, right. Not an Apex, at least not the one that I have in the garage. The arms and outer chainring are one piece on mine, and swaged onto the crankarm. This arm looks to be swaged as well, though. Also looks like the inner web of the big chainring was trimmed off when it faced the drill...
