  1. http://autobus.cyclingnews.com/sponsors/campag/campag03/?id=campy_visit Besides improving on his original designs with the legendary Campagnolo Record and Super Record groups, in the years from 1950 to 1980, Tullio Campagnolo worked on other projects. Among them was the legendary Campagnolo corkscrew, as well as working with lightweight aluminium alloy and magnesium for NASA, for use in the construction of the Apollo space module. Campagnolo also developed helicopter rotors and a unique braking system used by GP motorcyclists Walter Villa and Johnny Cecotto to win GP's and World Championships. Nonetheless, the core business at Campagnolo continued to be the bicycle sector.

    Tour of Qatar

    Already Australian time-trial champion this year, Michael Hepburn confirmed his huge potential by finishing fastest of the day's time-trial on the Tour of Qatar. Beating Lars Boom and Daniele Bennati on the 10.9-kilometre circuit of stage 3, the Orica-Greenedge rider claimed his first success in Qatar. Fifth today, Niki Terpstra keeps his overall leader's Golden Jersey. Taking off among the early competitors on the day's 10.9-kilometre circuit, set just by the Lusail Race track, Micheal Hepburn (OGE) hit hard by clocking a time of 13'28. At only 22 years of age the Australian from Brisbane adds a stage victory in Qatar to his National time-trial title and to his two successes conquered at the Tour de l'Avenir back in 2011. Despite having set the fastest time at the half-way mark (6'42), Lars Boom (BEL) proved to be slower on the second part of the course, finishing 2nd on the line, just a second adrift. In third spot was Italian Daniele Bennati (TCS), 6” behind. Last man to start, overall leader and stage 1 winner, Niki Terpstra managed a fine performance, capturing the fifth fastest time, just 8” adrift. The Dutchman keeps his Golden Jersey and now has a 21” lead over Roelandts (LTB) and 24” over Boom while Boonen (OPQ) drops down to fourth spot. With two stages to go on this 2014 Tour of Qatar, Terpstra will still need to battle hard but has an enjoyable advantage. The 29-year-old also leads the points' classification while his team mate Guillaume Van Keirsbulck is the best young rider and will wear the White Pearl Jersey tomorrow between Dukhan and Mesaieed.
  4. That is super nice. Many happy miles.

  6. 1966 deraileur set. Ever thought about the number of teeth used on the rollers of the rear derailleur? Well, it's more than 9. In the transition from toothless to the now standard 10-11 tooth rollers there were these 9-tooth rollers. The tight bend in the chain lead to increased radial loads on the plastic pulleys resulting in them fracturing. Live. Learn. Evolve.
  7. 1968 Campagnolo Nuovo Record brakeset. The first year that Campagnolo produced a brakeset of their own, and for its time, the best looking and most effective caliper on the market. Distinguished from later generations by the lack of the Campagnolo logo on the caliper arms. This set is NOS and still in it's box (itself in very good condition). Certainly very rare to see in this state and the the price reflects this: currently on ebay for USD $9,999.
  8. Campagnolo died in 1983, just after the introduction of the Gruppo del Cinquantenario (50th anniversary Campagnolo groupset). Gruppo Number 0002 was presented to Pope John Paul II in a private audience for a delegation of Italian cycling enthusiasts later that year.
  9. We have acheived "HOT" status on this thread. Thank you everyone for your contributions.
  10. Pantographed Delta's. Colnago, of course.
  11. Drillium, a '70s style of drilling and milling classic racing parts to reduce weight and improve aesthetics.
  12. Campagnolo C Record 1st generation.
  13. In 1989 Campag released a mtb groupset and was discontinued in 1994.
  14. This would be perfect on a new 35th anniversary Colnago Master.
  15. These were in the room as well.
  16. Came across this on a Campy blog. The room even has its own security system. http://campagnolodelta.blogspot.com/2013/12/the-fourth-room.html
