G***R, must have decided on the early days of bidding he would have this Crankset and no one else. with a high bid that carried through the auto bid process to the end

Must be something significant ---

It's probably the condition that pushed the price up although anything 1960s Stronglight and earlier fetch reasonable sums now, but this is certainly a high one.

There tends to be no rhyme nor reason why some components fetch high prices. Even though uncommon, I remember a first generation Campagnolo Gran Sport rear changer in pristine condition that went for over $6,000 about four years ago.

It's actually a Stronglight 63 (intro 1963) and I will bet it went to Japan. They do not turn up that often which is reflected in the final bid.

Here's the link to the SL time line for those that missed it a while back.
