[Closed] chainring crankset compatibility (old road bike)

Hello - I'm replacing the worn chainrings (and chain & cassette) on my old 1990s Merckx road bike.
It's currently got Sunrace R80 Fluid drive crankset & chainrings with 130 BCD.

Will any 130 BCD chainrings fit (eg Stronglight), or must they be from the same manufacturer?

Thanks in advance

Yes any should fit, apart from the new style Shimano ones that blend into the crankset, but they cost almost as much as a new R80 chainset.

Any will fit.

Stronglight do the Dural and Zircal range. Difference is material and finish. The Zircal ones are lovely. I have both on 30 year old Shimano 600 and Dura Ace 7400 - zircal being a close quality match for Dura Ace without the crazy prie tag.
