Wow! That is a rare one! I've never before seen a crankset with both 74mm and 58mm (or is it 56mm?) inner ring patterns.
Has anyone else ever made such a crankset?
cheers,
Andrew in Sydney

The TA Zephyr is beautiful crank, although some might gripe about the hidden fifth bolt.  The 56mm BCD drillings will allow you to run a 20 or 22 tooth inner ring.  TA, Sugino, Suntour, and a few others made those tiny rings.  If you find a Zephyr, make sure to get the correct bottom bracket: the Zephyr was produced in different flavors.  Peter White Cycles will sell you the correct bottom bracket.

I'm running a double ring-only version of the Zephyr with a TA AXIX bottom bracket on my Clem. 110 single inner ring with an all-city ring guard outside. I have the triple version for some future build TBD.

Another good looking setup (IMHO) with nice range for the tall mountains and not-so-young legs. 

Zephyr rings such guilty pleasure.

+1 on the chainrings John. Spoiled for life. Haven't bought another brand after having the Zephyr on my Rambouillet until I got an RH crankset for my Coast build.
