Bob and all members.

It is my understsnding that Campy parts/compornents do not change in a model year as automobile.

Like a steel/bromze rear Record, there are "overlasps" for a few years? For instance, alloy N/R came out 67/68, but steel was available until 70 to 71? And the last batch of steel one came with "oalstic" 9T pulleys in the same way as the first generation of alloy N/R.

As for th front, they cut a slot at outer cable stop in late to mid 60's. and repair parts/replacement cable stop type was available till mid 70's? I have seen a photo of Flat blade F/D w/ cable stop but "C" retaier ring at upper pivot arm (though this is a repaired piece?). The "C" ring is after 1972 or so.....

The are always interesting mystry in Campy stuff which many collector never can be satisfied !
