I, too, am looking for a Nuovo Record RD small part; in my case, the bolt around which the parallelogram spring wraps. It threads into the bottom of the upper inverted "heart", on the side opposite of the cable and stops. I can't imagine how I lost it, but there you go.
On a wholly unrelated topic, would anyone be good enough to explain path racing, as practiced in postwar Britain? I'd never heard of it before joining the list, and a Google search didn't yield any relevant links. What did the courses look like, how were the races run, and what sort of equipment was used?
Between tricycles, time trialists dressed all in black racing at 5:00 a.m. (according to Jack Taylor's description in "The Custom Bicycle"), and now path racing, post-war Britain looks to have been an amazing setting in which to be a club racer.
And speaking of that, has anyone seen the public television series in which a modern family moves into an old house and uses only the food, clothing, equipment, etc., appropriate to that setting? Its currently set in post-war England. Ive seen all of five minutes of it, but it looks charming and vaguely on-topic.
Many thanks for all leads.
