is Ishiwata EX tubing like the Norco and the red Firenze has Columbus tubing.
I bought these cranks from Ribble in the UK but they don't seem to carry them any more. I have read that this crank is actually made by Sugino for Stronglight. It appears to stll have some
availability in the UK from various dealers. It is also listed on Amazon but on back order.
I have been very satisfied with the performance of mine and I love the look. The crank is really quite inexpensive.

Thanks, they look nice on your beauties and I've heard good things about Stronglight in general. My 83 Nishiki via Norco says Tange Champion No. 2 double butted on it.
