I think this special feature endured into early production, but was one of the earliest things to change. The adjustable race required a 36 mm wrench. The solution was to modify a fixed cup tool and make it into an open wrench. This is in the days before Avenger headsets, of course.
Gotta love Campy's (mythic) commitment to servicability!

Sorry Boys,
But this guy's WRONG!
That Pergolizzi fella in N.Y.C. has a set of the "prototypes" on his
J.P.Weigle full proto show bike (as can be attested to by all of this years
Cirque attendees.Check out July 1985 Bicycling "The Dream Makers" , 1986
Playboy(month?) and this years Cirque photos.Yes , that does mean you too
Louie Deeter.
As told to me by Weigle: brakes were part of a prototype groupo
distributed by Campy to certain U.S. framebuilders for the 84 N.Y + L.A.
shows. The groupos were supposed to be returned to Campy after the
shows...but they never "asked" for them back.

Headset-flats are further apart;so regular headset tools don't fit
May have been other minor differences.Don't know.
Their are more out there.Beware!

the SR era and earlier? Come on, it is 1984, according the the auction, and
if it is a prototype, it is actually earlier. This has all the elements of
great CR banter. It's Campy, it's rare, it may be very rare... there's the
who E-bay variable and the seller even mentioned our Ritchie by name.
What's up Ritchie? DO you really have another 33% of the global supply? Is
this really a proto, or is it just the very rare first gen production model.
Looks like photos I've seen of the G-1 production and pretty similar the
second-gen ones I've seen in the flesh, though different in a million ways.
Very nice finish for a prototype. Back to check the Campy-Only links.
