Furthermore, what about track rings and 1960s Campy chainrings? Do the same rules apply?
Other question. When did the <C> leave the bottom headset cup?
The marking <c> is super mystery for all Campy fan abdcollectors!
I have seen it on;
1) 1969-71 Record headsets, but not on early 60' or mid 70's 2) On bronz/steel Record rear derailluer (with 9T plastic pullys) 3) Mnay Chain rings 151 and 144 BCD (perhaps 60's and 70's) 4) Ally cage Lg-pedals (years=70's?)
I have not seen enogh track rings (1/8" thick) and so never seen.
The stamping "PATENT" vs, "BREV", for sure PATENT is older but no date info.
I need inputs from C-R members!
