My obsession with cranksets

Mine

I know the 70's/80's TT scene was into extreme weight loss, but no chainring bolts how is that working out?

Maybe not so rare, but i love these Tech cranks, came in pretty good condition. And i'd like to get notifications from now on.

just a recent addition to my small collection:
(sorry for the bad picture, still from the seller)


Those are from the German brand Crux and should have been available from 1995 to roughly 1998.


The one I do have now have a rounded end on both side and for both arms.

Later models like this picture from the 97 catalog shows a some-kind-of-a-Ritchey-like shape for the non drive side bottom bracket mount.



Does someone here know if those Crux Cranks have been identical to the Rhino cranks, shown here in the thread already a few times?

The ones at the picture from 1996 catalog at Mombat look very similar to the earlier Crux cranks I do have now.


Would you agree?

Any idea or more detail about the manufacturer?
Crux was a brand of Stölzle (Asista), a German retailer of bike parts, mostly produced in Taiwan.

They look too similar to have not been made in the same place:

I have slowly cobbled together arms and spiders of these Caramba cranks. I still need a red Sidewinder non-driveside arm one might eventually show up.

Caramba’s are cool!
