<< Sooner or later C Record will enter the realm of vintage bike equipment. Personally I like C Record - as long as it's not indexed. You might want to relax the 1983 cutoff and make it 20 years and older so that there is a constantly moving cutoff date as time progresses. But it's your list, and you make the rules. This maybe a good discussion for the Cirque. >>
Yeah, I think C-Record is kinda neat /quirky /interesting but I also think it marks the beginning of a long bad period for Campagnolo and in a way is indicative of what the CR is NOT about. Tullio's death ushered in a series of crappy parts in my opinion.. Triomphe, Victory and C-Record were rushed into production and the old time tested parts thrown out with the baby in the bathwater. All to break with "Dad" and establish Valentino as his own man. But we all will continue to debate this stuff into the future... What fun! See you soon Dale
