C-Record looks essentially like a late, non-fluted Super Record at the top, but with an allen-head bolt. C-Record came in a round version (rare, and not to be confused with circa 1990 Record, which is very similar, but has a logo on each side that looks like that on a vintage Record brake lever), and the much more common, doofy aero one. Both alledgedly came in 130 and 180 mm versions, though I've never seen any shorties. See Catalog #18bis or #19 for more info. Greg Parker Dexter, Michigan

No, the post is definitely not C-record. That post was introduced with the Victory group (before C-rec) and then was used with Chorus and Croce. I think there was a slightly cheapened version that came out as Triomphe and was later sold as Athena. There are other applications of similar Campy posts in newer groups less familliar to me. It is very common for this post to show up on Ebay as C-record. About half the "C-record" posts on Ebay are not C-record. This is also true of headsets, ft. ders, pedals, and to a lesser degree just about everything else Campy from the late 80's and 90's. None of the parts were marked, and Athena/Chorus/Croce shared several parts that were identical or only slightly different. Other than some of the brake levers that were shared with Croce and Chorus, C-record is unique and readily identifiable for each component, with headsets being the only item slightly difficult to positively ID. On Ebay, "if in doubt, call it C-record," seems to be the policy.
