My Campagnolo #14 Catalogue (1960) shows ONLY 110 for the rear. If anyone has
a catalogue #15 (1967) or #16 (1968), it would be interesting to see if both
are listed.
A narrower rear triangle (110 spacing) would be more aerodynamic, a wider
rear triangle (120 spacing) would be (potentially) stiffer.
