Tough to find but worth it if you do.

Not a 'glamour shot', but at least in its element...

And yes, it now has bar tape. Finally.

For sure! Just started on my first job after graduating, and I found vintage seikos to be of really good value. My grail will one day be an explorer 1016...though the prices are increasing exponentially...

My 216570 is currently getting serviced. I would love to add a 1655 but I can’t justify it. I’ve been wearing a cheap Vostok while the other is out.

Man! The 1655 is grail worthy! Nice collection

i can recommend the Stronglight rings too, they are nicely made and affordable.

i know the colored chainring bolts are not to everyone's taste though!

Yes, glad I found this thread!

Is there a good U.S. source for Stronglight stuff? Peterwhite?

Are there ANY aftermarket chainrings for any kind of 12 speed crank?

I thought this looked rad at the time. I've thought about putting silver potenza rings on a chorus crank.. could look pretty fun.

Just curious, for those that are using 10 speed Chorus/Record, and want silver cranks/chainrings, what options are there? I love the look of the 10-speed cranks, even DA 7800 cranks, but it seems like I'm stuck with 53/39.

Do yall ride standard cranks??

I'm about to do the same thing on the Olmo. I think it will look ok if you balance things out.

I've already got two built along those lines, just not as much silver as the Olmo will wind up with.



This is sporting even more black.

No, but trying to find this 2006 era Centaur CT compact with chrome chainrings is really tough.



So... moving onto a workaround of sorts...

For the Goodrich, I found a NOS 10 spd 2014 era Centaur carbon compact that came standard with the pressed black rings and substituted some NOS forged chrome rings I found on the 'Bay. Wasn't quite a drop-in , but close enough. And even though the rings are '10 spd', they work great with an 11 spd drivetrain.

And they look good.

Very nice examples here! I guess my alternative would be to use 11 speed chorus carbon compact cranks with Athena 11 speed silver cranks.

Came across another option here - I have a set of their 'RX' road hubs and they've been pretty bomb proof - i've ridden lots of gravel, submerged them, and they keep on rolling...
