Now Dale, before you go giving me the heave-ho, please indulge me this question of our esteemed members. It is Campagnolo and it is non-aero and friction shifting. :-)
Replies off-list though if you please so as to keep me out of hot water!
Having gotten into a long winded email discussion with a eBay seller about these cranks:
http://cgi.ebay.ca/
Trying to convince him they were Triomphe and not Victory, got us to his assertion that his 1984 Gitane (see borderline to the cut-off date) came with this equipment and me saying he must have his dates off. He pointed to this catalogue pic:

I've always thought that the Campagnolo Victory and Triomphe (and C-Record as well) weren't introduced until 1986, as the #18 Catalogue (printed 1985) shows not a mention of them at all. And then in this discussion he points me to:
and specifically:
http://campybike.com/
So this has me questioning a large part of my memory, and has me about to haul out boxes and boxes of Bicycling, Winning and Cyclist magazines to figure out when this stuff actually came out.
Can those who have data and recollection about when Victory and Triomphe were available please drop me a line (off-line) and either back me up or shoot me down?
Thank you,
Now back to your regularly scheduled CR discussion...
