TA Cyclotouriste "Pro 5 vis"

Brand: Spécialités T.A.

Emblematic touring crankset from Spécialités T.A., launched in 1963. Its removable chainrings, bolted to the spider with 5 bolts (hence the nickname 'Pro 5 vis'), made it easy to change gearing to suit the terrain, a major asset for cyclotouring and randonneuring. Very widespread on French touring bikes from the 1960s to the 1980s, it remains a benchmark of the genre among vintage bicycle enthusiasts.
