I have a Lupo which Umberto "Lupo" Mascheroni made for his own ride. It
has short reach calipers with flat cam levers. I don't know exactly when it
was made. But it has black BB cups and black seatpost lower cradles of 1st
generation SR group. According to Chuck Schmidt's Timeline , this group was
on 1974 catalog. The cranks don't have the mark of the year and the rear
derailleur has "patent 77". I think the brake calipers were originally on it
because the brake pivots were brazed on .
