Existence of first-gen 1984 C-Record Pista crankarms (engraved logo) in 175mm?
 

Title says all. No picture.

Found one at a local shop a few days ago (NOS, no less), but I couldn't quite make heads or tail of it. I know the '84s were the only versions to have engraved shield logos (and the crankarm is dated [11]), and it was indeed a C-Record pista arm (permanently-installed, press-fit chainring bolts, no inner chainring shelf), but it was a 175mm. Velobase doesn't even account for the later ones in 175mm.

Oddball? Rare as heck? You tell me.

It's a fluke, I'll give it a good home......

I'd say regular production.

We'll see. I'm going to put some time towards their NOS Mavic 631 Starfish crankset first. That's a 180mm set though - not ideal.

175 is not out of the question for C-Record Pista production then - correct?

EDIT: Just checked Catalog 18. Looks as if they produced them from 165mm through 180.

Found an orphaned left 175mm crank arm. Not engraved but still campy.

Date code?
Era (pre-'95 shield or post-'95 lettered)?
Price?

-Kurt

I think mine are 4 in a circle.

If I recall right, both the circle-4 and square-11 codes refer to 1984.

-Kurt

I don't know, I am pretty confident Circle 4 is '84, perhaps someone else has a useful contribution.

175mm seems long for a pista arm, no?

I would think it's for a very tall rider with a big frame set.

Or BMX

Possibly pursuit, hour record attempts, etc.
