Can anyone here tell me a bit about this group? The only part I see is the track crank, but I read somewhere it was a complete road group?
Any one have a catalog picture of the group?

Isn't the 75 the carbon group? Way before carbon was popular, it had carbon brake levers and shifters. I believe the pedals were some kind of carbon composite too. I'll do some digging in the old files.......

There are some pedals on Ebay:

That's what I read, just want to see what it is like. 75 is acutally for 75 years anniversary.
Here's part of that group:

It was sometime in the mid 80's, but I don't have the exact year. I picked up a set of brake levers last year on ebay, areo with all carbon levers. Going to put them on a Single Speed I have in mind to build. I have seen a few road chainrings too that had a carbon overlay onto an alloy chainring. I haven't seen the entire group.

from this group. They are carbon (the only carbon anything I own) and really are good looking. I bought them about three months ago (an eBay whim) and put them on a 1991 Trek 1500 I was putting together at the time. One of the mechanics at my LBS told me the components from this group are hard to find.

peace

Is there any way you can post a close up shot of the levers? I've never seen a pair.
Thanks a lot!
