My hazy recollection is having seen these type of fricton adjusters typically paired to lower end Campagnolo drivetrains from the Sport right through Valentino and Nuovo Gran Sport. Never could figure quite why they'd bother making a seperate part for those, surely it can't cost much less than the Record-type folding D-rings.

has anybody ever seen Campagnolo downtube levers with round wheel type adjusters fitted? they are about the size of an old English 5 pence piece (22mm?) basically they are a round of aluminium drilled and tapped in the centre t o effect the adjusting, around the edge are knurled?grooves for grip these g o 90degrees to the face of the 'wheel' they have Campagnolo cast into them...they came fitted to a pair of Campagnolo levers of 1960's type though these have all the mould lines polished off etc and all the knobbles around the edge of the levers have been 'cleaned'...i have never seen anything similar has anyone else...they came fitted to a Claude Butler 'Cavalier' from the mid/late 60's.
