Ok, I get your point, but I didn't mean to say anyone's terminology is wrong. I understand the vintage Campy gruppo ambiguities, and that I don't know all the parts. My real question is, what does the hub that Jake needs look like? If I knew that I might be able to help him. If a NT MIGHT reasonably be termed a GS, fine, but is that in fact what Jake is talking about? I assume he's not talking about the three-piece hub, if it's busted on a 1980 bike.
