How many "Oro" groups
 
I'm always looking for cool parts for my flippers and personal bikes. Usually I'll check the bins at the local co-ops and shops, often enough I come across 70's and 80's anodized stuff marked "Oro" (gold). Colors seem to range from just a light tint like the gear or the Raleigh Record Sprint to blinding Sugino Orange Crush gold. My question is, how many different vintage groups, brakesets, bar/stem combos, etc etc were released under various Oro names and by who?

So far I know of:

Stronglight? oro cranks
Dia compe g400 brakes
Modolo Speedy brakes
Mafac competition?
Some ofmega rings
Some Suntour mech

anything else?

Also if anyone has ANY Kooka stuff PM me

Dia Compe's Royal Gran Compe brakes came in a limited edition black and gold version with one arm of each caliper gold plated.

Well, I don't know if it was officially labeled 'Oro' but this Galli RD is pretty nice. I was watching it, but it's already beyond what I'd pay.

^^ Is that an ICS modified caliper?

Nice stuff, I missed out on a set of deltas for$35 on my local CL, guy had no idea. When I asked him what he did with the rest of the group he said "o that old stuff is going on my winter bike", couldn't change his mind. Still trying to ID a set of cranks in a local shop window, he's got a budget SS ring on there but its dark orange gold and has "oro" engraved on the arm. Has to be 130 bcd as thats all the particular ring comes in.

I came to post Galli but JunkYardBike beat me to it. They made a complete groupset in gold ano.

They're either unsigned ICS or possibly Colnago, Gios, Tom Kellogg versions that were gold plated for various anniversary bikes. I believe these to be an '86 or '87 vintage and they're a touch more elaborate than the usual as they have all the pad hardware, and the mounting washers, 24k plated as well.
