Is this chainset super record?

[fiks]

I thought it might be a Royce as well, but I thought GPM was more likely because of the Colnago engraving.

The distinguishing point is the spider where it meets the ring; it's not flat.

Thanks for the info Guys.....I'm trying to check now

I'm really grateful for the input here.....I have little to none knowledge on road parts.....but I'm trying to learn with a crash course via Hetchins!!

There were several versions of Colnago chainsets over the years . The cranks in the pic. have an unusual transition from spider to ring...

I don't think these particular ones are Campagnolo based, more likely Gipiemme or Ofmega.

All versions I have seen have ben heavily modified and as such tended to lose any manufacturer's logos in the process.

I am leaning towards Gipiemme...

The 52 stamped into the engraved chainring does not resemble the style of marking Campagnolo used to use either.

Hope that helps a little

Retro regards

its not royce they used different caps on the bolts ,campag used a headed bolt i agree it looks Ofmega ,very popular on some of the Italian package bikes

thanks for all the help/advice.....the only reason I ask is that the bloke I got it from is very knowledgeable about bikes, particularly British ones (heowns lots of patents for Chater-Lea!), and he says that a lot were modified extensively when new......I don't know either way, but I thinks its a good one, yes?

Looks very much like a Mexico

Thats very interesting!

My bike also has that camapg/colnago seatpost and came with a concor supercorsa saddle on it and the rear mech is super record.....although first gen.

Could it be that a Colnago Mexico was the donor for a new Hetchins frame and fork?

I don't recognise the radiused 'cutbacks' on the top of the arms as being Campag style.

After speaking to the original owner, he says they are definatley campag/colnago..... Probably Mexico....

That seems to put that to rest!
