Furthermore, the catalog lists different BB spindles for 110 & 120mm OLN. Presumably 110mm OLN was considered the norm at the time, as the bottom bracket for 110mm was listed as the 'default' option.

I'm also curious as to whether Campagnolo changed the width of their rear track hub shell at some time- there does not seem to be any way to reduce the OLN width of any of my Record track hubs by a centimetre.
