Subject: [CR]WTB: first gen 67 Nuovo Record pivot bolt
This is probably a long shot but does anybody have a spare pivot bolt for the famous first generation Nuovo Record derailleur, like the one at John Barron's web site http://www.velostuf.com/campy67nrrear1.jpghttp://www.velostuf.com/campy67nrrear1.jpg ?
I found a 1967 NR derailleur with missing pivot bolt. The mid 70s NR bolts I have are a bit too long and require this black plastic washer with nose that the first gen derailleur didn't have. Does anybody know when the bolts changed? Maybe slightly later versions also fit?
I visited one of my favourite LBS today. The owner has a big old wooden cabinet for old parts with lots of drawers. To show what's in it he has nailed an old part as handle to each drawer. I know this cabinet for years, but today took a closer look. You already guessed what was the handle of the "old derailleurs" drawer...
I'd offer an excellent complete derailleur (50s Gran Sport or early 60s Record w/steel pulleys) for the bolt.
