FSA Gimondi is a retro styled crankset named after the great Felice Gimondi - one of only five cyclists to have won all three Grand Tours, the others being Jacques Anquetil, Eddy Merckx, Bernard Hinault and Alberto Contador - the chainset is available with 165mm and 170mm crank arm lengths and weighs 631g.
The chainring is 48 x 3/32 made out of anodized silver alloy, complemented by anodized black chain ring bolts, while the arms are cold forged and polished.

"The 2011 Gimondi singlespeed chainset is named after Italian cycling legend Felice Gimondi, world champion and winner of all three Grand Tours, plus a classic race or two. Weighing 640g (including ring and bolts), it's made from cold-forged aluminium and has a stylish ?uted arm design more than a little reminiscent of the classic Campagnolo Nuovo Record.

The Torx chainring bolts have the same highly polished mirror ?nish as the arms and ring, making these cranks great for retro-style bikes. The chainset looks beautiful and there was none of the ?ex you ?nd on original cranks of this style.
