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.

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.

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.

From the website its spelt 'Campagnolo'.

 

Sorry, I'm joking. I'm in love with Campagnolo since my switch a few years ago (Ultegra -> Record 11). There are just far too many people selling "Campagnola" parts on the Hub/Gumtree etc...

I sincerely hope all these lovely pieces of Campag belong to the posting hubbers! Would love to call 1st dibs but I am but a poor man.

 

Here are some pics of a Vitus I am busy building using various bits and pieces I had lying around.

 

So far:

  • Nuovo Record rear derailer (very light even compared to newer 10 speed Record Titanium!)
  • Record(?) front derailer
  • Gran Turismo crank and chainrings (not in the best of shape with oil and grease marks in the alloy) Not sure I know how to restore this?
  • Nuovo(?) callipers
  • Brake levers minus any hoods at this stage. Not yet cleaned
