Is this a TA specialites pro 5 vis reissue?

I really don't know much about TA cranks. I gave my coworker an ultegra crankset not expecting anything in return and he gave me these.

I'm not going to use them because they are 165mm. I guess I want to know more about them before I just put a WTS/WTT thread.

This titanium bottom bracket is cool though. Pedals are MKS Sylvan.

It does appear to be a newer version, as opposed to the original one with the black decals on the arm faces. Newer issue rings too.

Nice cranks, worth some bucks for sure.

I think newer, although the bolts look just like the old bolts from my early 1970s set. Definitely newer rings.

Yes, newer as in 90s or later.

I never understand why someone would pull a crank without first removing the pedals. I always consider them suspect.

These are the 60th anniversary cranks. I think I used to (or maybe I still) have a set also in 165mm.
