Ermmm… hard to say… cotterless BB axles were around by 1970 but I don’t think the Tipo Strada or in fact any in the 1970 CB range started life with one, but the very top of the range Torino was advertised with a cotterless BB first in 1971 so it’s not a million years out…. That however was (I think) a Campagnolo unit not something from Japan. I don’t think Japanese components started appearing until 1976 (but we have a black hole in CB catalogues missing 73-75) so I’m not exactly sure when the Sakae five pin light alloy crank set turned up, but it was on the 1976 Competitor. The original owner may have upgraded as soon as they came out as the Tipo was a pretty classy machine very near top of the range so whomever had bought it from new might have wanted to keep up with the latest trends (he might have been a dentist Lol!) As for exactly what crank set & BB you have, have a hunt around on www.velobase.comPersonally I wouldn’t let it worry me as I think it looks fine….. PS, get the 1st page title changed to “1970 Claud Butler Tipo Strada”, the thread will attract more attention…
