I have a Woodrup from that era, and it also has a very high BB, again somewhat like a track frame.

\r?\n> As mentioned in my earlier post this morning, I went for a
\r?\n> ride on my
\r?\n> 1982 Woodrup Super Record bike......it's the first
\r?\n> proper ride Iv'e done
\r?\n> on it since rebuilding the bike in its former glory, [for
\r?\n> some years it
\r?\n> did have off topic Ultegra 8spd!] and I'd forgotton
\r?\n> just how wonderful
\r?\n> this bike rides and handles.........forget the now peculier
\r?\n> feeling of
\r?\n> toe clips & straps, or the 'small feel' of the
\r?\n> Super Record brake
\r?\n> levers, the bike just floats along, and it feels so
\r?\n> positive.........I
\r?\n> now remember saying to myself years ago that this frame was
\r?\n> the best I'd
\r?\n> ridden, perhpaps its the geometry.......74 head with 1
\r?\n> 3/8" rake......73
\r?\n> seat..... 16" back end..............wonderful, I can
\r?\n> see myself riding
\r?\n> this bike quite a lot this Summer, even in some mid week 10
\r?\n> mile time
\r?\n> trials and if I'm going well I don't expect to be
\r?\n> 'much slower' than on
\r?\n> a modern bike!..........in fact this bike still has my
\r?\n> personal best 50
\r?\n> mile TT time credited to it [1.54.34 in 82 no tri bars etc]
\r?\n>
\r?\n> Pics of this bike are on my flickr site
\r?\n> http://www.flickr.com/
\r?\n>
\r?\n> So now for the Campag question......a mate called round
\r?\n> yesterday, and
\r?\n> when I showed him my Super Record front gear with the black
\r?\n> arms, 3
\r?\n> holes, but with the later 'Sheild logo' as seen on
\r?\n> C Record stuff he
\r?\n> reckons this is from the last generation of Super Record,
\r?\n> which may be
\r?\n> true, but he also said that the rear Super Record gear was
\r?\n> with the
\r?\n> 'concealed spring' like on a 50th aniversary gear,
\r?\n> and on the last gen
\r?\n> Nuovo Record gears. Could this be true?........has anyone
\r?\n> seen or got
\r?\n> such a Super Record rear gear, I know there were a diferent
\r?\n> style of
\r?\n> jockey wheel bolts, and some had alloy bolts rather than
\r?\n> titanium, but
\r?\n> never seen one with the concealed spring.
\r?\n>
\r?\n> Come on you Campag fans!!
