Looking at the two posts below, I have some questions.

1) What year is catalog 19? There was a very common round variant of the Record post that came out circa 1994 when the current style of cranks came out. This post looks like SR, but with the Record (allen head) clamp bolt and washer. It had a block letter "Campagnolo" logo down the sides similar to the logo on SR brake levers. That is not the post that John has.

What is the "rare and seldon seen non-aero C Record post"? This is what I've seen posts like John's referred to as, but why would anyone call it that? Did it appear in an early C-Rec era catalog (18 bis?) or price list? 1987, if it is the year of manufacture, is three years after those famous C-Reord prototype groups. It is also the very end of SR production, so the late SR theory still looks best to me.

Or the round variant of the (C-)Record seatpost pictured on Page 17 of the "Record" section of "Catalog 19" (although, the one in the catalog photo has the word "LIMIT" above the limit line where yours has "ITALY" -- but the aero ones in the photo appear to have identical stampings to yours above the limit line).

John, If that "87" is really a manufacturing date I am wondering if this could be the rare and seldom seen non-aero C Record post? Perhaps from that group of prototype stuff that was supposed to be returned to Campy, but lots of folks kept? Tom Sanders
