Yes, of course I need to acquire some information on my own and, I do try to conduct some Internet research before lobbing questions into the CR List. Yet, contacting the List is part of the research effort. My perception is that many Listers have deep and diverse knowledge of bicycling and may be able to point in a direction where I may do research. For example, Lou Deeter's reference to the Used Bike Buyers Guide. I didn't know such guides existed for bikes and components. Richard Cielec Chicago, Illinois LouDeeter@aol.com wrote:The Used Bike Buyers Guide does a somewhat nice job of identifying year, but you need to know a little info yourself too. 1983 is generally close to the cutoff for Campagnolo Super/Nuovo Record, so if it is C-Record, Chorus, Athena, or the like OR indexed shifting of any kind, then it is a good bet that it is outside of the timeline. The acceptable exceptions are any custom lugged steel framebuilders from any year. The Used Bike Buyers Guide is available for $3 email version or $5 on disk. I also have a good selection of buyers guides to identify parts that might have been original for most production models from about 1981 on. If you want a copy of the guide, send paypal to this email address or check or other payment to: Louis Deeter 9235 Ridge Pine Trail Orlando FL 32819
