Hi Bruce, your stack height is 28mm,

Stack height. (Nuovo) Record Strada (road) is 39.1 mm. Super Record road is taller at 42.2 mm. Record and Super Record Pista (track), Gran Sport, are all 33.7 mm.

So as you can see from the dimensions you are out of luck to fit any Campagnolo, you will need a steerer of 194 to fit a NR headset, and 197 to fit a SR headset, best of luck, been there done that wayne davidson invers NZ............

The offered fork has 183 mm of steerer tube. Now what is the best way to mathematically determine if this will fit the said fork on my frame??? Bruce
