Subject: [CR] Timeline for first generation Campagnolo Superleggera Black Pedals


I know the first generation Campagnolo Superleggera Black pedals have been discussed on the list in the past, but could not find anything in the archives that pinpoints their actual introduction date.  I am referring to the black SL pedals that have flat non recessed or indented cage holes/slots.

Chuck Schmidt's Campy timeline mentions the silver anodized alloy SL pedal introduction date as 1968, but no mention of the first black anodized alloy caged SLs.

I have a pair of these pedals, and was thinking of mounting them on a 1969 bike, but don't know it they were available or not during 1969???

Appreciate any definitive dating of these fairly rare pedals.
