Some dispute my 1963 date for addition of "RECORD" was my point is all...

~ ~ ~ Chuck, I've been one, the last few go-rounds, who always posts about '65 nuts on my no-Record hubs (now on sale on Ebay with the chrome Cinelli). With your last two posts however, I am finally getting the picture ... that being, that "RECORD" was added to the barrels in NEW production (of course) in '63, but certainly it could have taken two years before they were assembled with guts, and by that time, the guts happened to be from new stock. So, would you say that a hub like I described is best suited to a 1963, or 1965 period correct restoration (or neither ... break up the sets to go all the way)? I feel like 1965 is appropriate, because that is more likely the year that the hubs were built into wheels, and put into service. Just curious about your opinion, and wanted to let you know that "I get it".
