Re: [CR] Camp Pedal Question

Chuck, The other lister's questions give rise to a few more from me... The "1037 <c>" markings are not found on all old record pedals. Most of the old strap loop equipped pedals were not marked that way as far as I can tell. I also recall seeing a set of non-loop-equipped Records that were marked that way, though they may have just had the loops cut off (blury image). It is my suspicion that the markings were added when the 1037A was introduced, though it does seem far-fetched that they would do this to distinguish these two very distinct models. Question one is: Do you know when Campy started and ended the markings on the bodys of the 1037 and 1037A? I have an old pair of SL's with markings and I would love to know the vintage.

Question two: Did any of the really early SL's have the toestrap loop? I've never seen such a pedal, but would be very interested to see one, if it exists.

Question three: Did the strap loop get ditched during the CPSC changes? I had always assumed that the loop constituted an unacceptable risk to life and limb. ;-)

Question four: How do you know that his other pedals are GS? At (about?) the same time that the loop was deleted from the Record, Campy also started using the SL plastic caps on the Record pedal. If the two sets he has are similar other than the caps and the loop/no loop, I'd say the second set is later Record. The G.S. really look quite different.

One bit of minituae to supplement our friend's learning blitz: Very late Record and SL pedals used slightly different axles that have markings only on the wrench flats. The flats are a little wider too. These are the C-record/Victory spindles. The older (pre-1984ish) spindles have markings on the rounded section as well as the flats.
