Hi all,
Does anyone know a rough date of this sprocket:

It's a snow flake.

You can still buy them now, but they are not listed on Crupi's site any more. They were three years ago, though.

Thanks!

Do you maybe know when they first came out?
Seller says it was on a mid 90s bike, could this sprocket be as old as that?

Possibly I guess. I know Crupi were more famed for their pedals in the late 90s.

TBH dude if you like it and really nice quality things grab one. Crupi's stuff is fooking lovely. Every bit as good as Snafu's. I got alu Crupi Protein bars on one of my bikes atm and again, just so beautifully made. I would say it's probably more like 2002 or later. Mostly because it's a race part and by 2003 everything was changing to LHD, smaller sprockets and rear sprockets and so on.
