Don't get me wrong, Gipiemme does the job, looks good and everything... But I wanted to get a nicer crankset for the custom ring, that's all :)
Gipiemme always been the cheaper alternative to Campagnolo products, offering during the 70/80s campagnolo "inspired" parts but with cheaper materials, not-so-good finish and poorer overall quality.
The 'Crono Special Pista' cranks I had was equally if not better in terms of finish and quality to the 'Super Record Pista' cranks. More good looking too IMO.
I have the same ones (yours look mint!) but I can't really say the same about the finish... It's silly but GPM look like they were printed with a 3d printer while campa looks like is forged in a weapon factory.
Or maybe is just because I overthink too much :)

Can't wait for the "bundle" to arrive! :)
