I have a Campy Strada 52/42 on my '64 Legnano.
I just went thru a crank change on my '78 Peugeot. It came with a Stronglight TS with a stripped pedal thread on the non drive crank arm. I got out an old Campy 52/42 and a Sugino GT 52/34 that I had laying around. The TS is in the middle of the picture. I finally went with the Sugino compact double. It rides very well with a 28t 6 speed Atom freewheel. I have a similar Sugino AT triple on my Raleigh Super Course with a 34t Megarange 6 speed freewheel.

Wowee wow wow! I just came here to lurk. But this thread is pure "crank porn!" How great to see so many interesting posts!
My only comment is about the Lambert/Viscount crank. I had one. But the proprietary sealed bottom bracket was gritty. I tapped mine out to Italian threads, and installed a "normal" BB and crank. But what an interesting and historical variety of posts!

Nervar Star triplized:
Stronglight 28t granny.
Campy Sport (steel) triplized:
That's a 27t granny. I just thought it should be divisible by 3.
In fact it's 3 cubed, how perfect.
Yes there are some cranks that shouldn't be butchered. In my defense, I did this in 1978 when I was 21 years old.
Campy Record "factory" triple, designed for a 36t granny only (no other choice). Jim Merz made 31t rings to fit, so I had to turn my amp up to 11 and make a 30t. It works perfectly, no extra chain noise or rubbing where it's not supposed to.
Then I thought "huh, why not 29t?"
OK that might be "a bridge too far". It works fine actually but the chain does hit the bolt heads. I didn't dare to counterbore the ring to have the bolt head sit flush, because I'd be removing metal right where the ring is weakest, so these bolt heads stick out and need a little more frame clearance. FYI the bolts are Ti, just 'cuz. Still adjusting the spacer length in this picture; custom-length light-alloy spacers were made later.
"OK we get it Mark, you like triple cranks. Enough already!"
Well maybe just one more please? Mavic 'Starfish' triplized:
Maybe not the most structurally efficient (i.e. lightest) triple ever, but I like 'em. Mavic had their own way of triplizing them but I like this way better.
OK enough

Here's an oddity, a Wedgelock, from England circa '66. The cranks are oval tubes, brazed to fittings at the pedal and BB ends. Steel but decently light due to being hollow.
