Campy C-Record cranks

Anyone know where I can pick a set of 90's Campy cranks? I know they're no longer produced but wanted to see if anyone knew about a shop that had old stock of them.

These are C-Record road cranks, with one hidden spider arm. I 've had these since 1993.

Sorry.......mine are road cranks pictured above. You're right about those being C-Record Pista cranks. I've got them as well on my Cinelli track bike. Very nice cranks. I found mine used on Ebay 5 years ago.

I had some on my ROMIC back in the mid 90s. They got me around the track without issue.

You definitely need to point me more images of that Cinelli. If you're looking for brand new Cinelli pista bars, let me know and I can tell you where to get some for a very good price.

Record Pista cranks with the old logos can be had on eBay but they will cost an arm and a leg. Here's a set of NOS crank arms that went for $499 buy it now:

I think business cycles had them for $349....pretty steep for a set of cranks but they are beautiful.

A couple questions:

What is the difference between these c-records and the current version that you can get anywhere? They look like the same design but with a record logo instead of a c-record logo.

Has any one heard of the old campagnolo pista cranks cracking? I talked to a guy at my LBS and he made it sound like they were as notorious for failure as the "sheriff star" hubs.

I've been doing a lot of googling on these cranks and I haven't found anything suggesting that they're weak. Quite the opposite actually. I keep reading on how good they are.

As for the difference between the current and the C-Record versions, it's mainly the logo. That's why people go nuts over them.

I have found 2 NOS sets in German eBay shop. They were surprisingly cheap, $170, it was when $ was stronger than EUR.
I run them (yet different set) on this:

Keep an eye on eBay. They will surface sooner or later.
