My bad.

To which e-Chuckissimo replied: I'm going with the year end trade show introduction date of 1977 until someone has info stating otherwise; what are you basing 1978 on?
Whether anyone on the CR list has a "Pat 77" 2nd generation SR derailleur or not matters not in the least; at least to me that is.

Uh, then why did you ask about '77 rears? We've discussed umpteen times that Campy catalogs, which were cut-and-pasted from old art for decades, were often full of stronzini..... Basing your reality on old catalogs is generally not the best way to operate IMO. They are fun to look at, and can be great sources of information, but are certainly nowhere near definitive, particularly in the Campagnolo case. Reality trumps 'em every time. :-) Greg "parts is parts" Parker Ann Arbor, Michigan
