ok well i ended up buying a track bike from the 80's today and it came with some other random goodies that the seller gave me as well.

i got this pair of Galli Crank Arms, they look really nice, and are rather light, couldn't find them on velobase.com, i've seen them on a bike before but couldn't remember where. Are they anything special, what bikes did these usually come on? and are they worth anything really, or is it just a normal crankset from way back when, here are the pictures, sorry they aren't that good cause they're from my iphone:









question 2, i gotta remove some headsets from some road frames with one inch forks, which size cup remover tool do i need so i can hammer them out, 1 1/8 or 1/4, i was guessing it'd be the smaller one but i wanted to be sure before i got the LBS to order one. of course i guess i could've asked them when i call tomorrow but unfortunately i trust the ppl on this forum more.

i think it's the aerodynamic series, it's definately curvy

I use the Park Tools RT-1. Fits 1" to 1-1/4". Can also be used for pressed BB cups.

also does anyone on here know anything about GALLI parts

I had some Galli Super Criterium brakes I really liked. I've only ever seen the criterium series, not familiar with the cranks you have there, but I like the clover design of the outer chainring - would look good on a Colnago! So forget the crank, let's see pics of the 80's track bike! Oh yeah, if you remember the phone conversation we had the other day - you can find the bike I was chasing after here: https://www.bikeforums.net/showthread...oined+the+club...
you're going to laugh when you see it.

I'm 99% sure that those cranks are re-branded Stronglight 107s.
They were Stronglight's top of the line cranks in the mid 80's and even saw use by pros in the TDF on Gitanes and Peugeot, most likely.
I don't think they ar that common in Galli form, but the 107s can go for quite high prices if NOS.
I do prefer the lower model 106 to these though for their more classic aesthetics with fluted arms and the bonus of lighter weight.

They're good cranks IMO.

+1 If you're going to sell, definitely keyword spam with Stronglight - that's what they are. I have a set of the Galli branded 106's, and while the aesthetics may be preferable to some, the finish and anodizing on mine leaves something to be desired. They are gold anodized, though, so I'm not complaining! The 107's I've seen have a higher quality finish.

Here's my Galli Criterium/Stronglight 106 crank:



I've also got gold Galli Brunito calipers, Aerodynamic KL derailleurs (Simplex), Galli (Stronglight A9) roller bearing headset. Really want to get my hands on a roller bearing BB. Last I saw on ebay went for well over $100. It's all nice stuff.

And here it is on a pro level Peugeot, branded as Spidel. Chombi posted a thread about the bike earlier. Spittin' image:

oOoOo, that stuff looks pretty, i knew i've seen this crank on a high end french bike before. the crank is actually pretty light, i think i'm going to use the pair on my weird raleigh find that no one could identify what type of raleigh it was, (https://www.bikeforums.net/showthread...=#post12679945)

also those raleigh's are really nice, hahah i won't laugh, i actually sold a really nice cruiser today, my brother said it rode really smoothly and nicely but weighed a ton. and made alot of creeky noises when you hit bumps and stuff.

Did Galli have crap made by Campagnolo? What gives?

mapleleafs-13 

i was under that impression as well

Galli made some nice anodized bits. I have a red crankset and a red RD. They look pretty sweet.

Campagnolo's designs were widely copied.

Ooooo, pics?

I know, but even "Strada" was put on the cranks. Plus the thread designation location is even similar.
