...its performance is deeply disappointing by current standards. Careful Lou, listmemebers are apt to yank their heads from the sand and start firing off arguements to the contrary! Of course Record-10 is also arguably disappointing by current standards.

In a review of the 99 Record group, here is what they had to say about Super Record. "Campagnolo's late-70s Super Record group was once the pinnacle of precision cycle engineering and yet, while its elegant, classical styling remains unimpeachable, its performance is deeply disappointing by current standards. The gear shift is both slow and imprecise thanks to the friction levers and primitive derailleur geometry, while the long-reach caliper and rock-hard rubber blocks deliver frighteningly poor wet-weather braking." More to come in future posts as I find interesting tidbits. Lou Deeter, Orlando FL _______________________________________________
