General Information
In the 1973 Specialties TA catalog, the Professionnel 5 Vis crankset including bottom bracket, is available in Criterium and Cyclotouriste chainring ensembles. Thus Pro(fessionnel) 5 Vis refers to the crankarms and bottom bracket, and not the chainrings. The Criterium chainrings have their small chainring(s) [double or triple] attached to a larger diameter bolt hole circle on the large chainring. The Cyclotouriste chainrings have their small chainring(s) [double or triple] attached to a small diameter bolt hole circle on the large chainring. The Professionnel chainrings [double or triple] have the largest diameter bolt hole circle, and are attached to an adapter, which attaches to the crankarm. Later version crankarms have the foil TA sticker within an inset. Later cranks may have standard Extractor threading; be cautious when working with TA cranks for this reason.
