Thanks Ted! It is somewhat mystifying to me why Campagnolo would elect to begin production of this in 1960 when the demand for something like this had to be in decline given the options for alloy cotterless chainsets from not only Campagnolo but other manufacturers. I would love to know what there reasoning was!

Hi Edward,

I am not a Campagnolo expert, but here is what I found:

Campagnolo catalog #14 (year 1960?), page 25: "MOVIMENTO CENTRALE GRAN SPORT CAMPAGNOLO" Entire unit is ref #: 1047 Fixed cup is #745 Adjustable cup is #746 Lock Ring is #747 Balls are #22 sfere speciali (size 1/4")

I think the cup reference numbers are wrong because the one that just sold on ebay had the old chromed steel cups (probably 1957-1958).
