I seriously like the Stronglight 105 (I think) crankset on the bicycle on the right side of the photo. I'm especially envious of the intact dust caps, wasn't able to preserve them on mine and they can be found only at exorbitant prices, it would seem. I have the TER (black chainrings) version of Stronglight 105 crankset and I think it's one of the most interesting vintage designs.
