I currently ride a Cheap Fixie conversion of a Lésprite racer frame.
But I have just bought a 90’s Bianchi Track bike off ebay US and am awaiting its arrival
Only got ebay pics for now

I look forward to seeing it finished. But I would definitely be de-anodizing those cranks – a good caustic bath followed by a polish will bring them up real nice.
They are Campy BMX cranks and quite collectable. If presented well and offered on US ebay they’ll fetch maybe upwards of $500usd. They are stamped Strada (road) on the back and came with 3/32" chainwheels so you’ll be able to replace them with the same locally here in Oz for about 1/5th of the price. Win/Win !!!
I was also unaware of this. I thought some dude had just decided to anodize his campy cranks blue.
But if they are stamped strada and come with 3/32 chainrings, then as a collector how would you know they are the rare BMX ones and not just some backyard anodized old strada cranks?
I had a set of these cranks in red many moons ago. The bike they were on was stollen. I lost a lot of faith in mankind then.
Hot cranks though, I’d be saving them for later use.
Nothing really, but it’s hard to get the colour just right and patina is the deal breaker and easy to spot. Peep’s who are into these and spending big money know how to spot them and there are a few details to look for.
Campy made these BMX sets with matching pedals and hubs. The hubs were based on the Nuovo Tipo (mid 70’s) high flange road hub with solid axles and spaced 110mm in the rear. Here’s a set I sold a few months back.
// Dubrat … re: info … you don’t need any. Just list them “Campagnolo Vintage BMX Cranks” and the freaks will pick up on them. Better off listing them on US ebay to get a world audience
Guys I have found 2 sets of the hubs in blue for sale here in australia. What do you think I should look at paying??? One set laced to velocity clincher rims and another set of hubs only and reasonable condition??
