Back in the late 1970s I ran a Campy Nuovo Record with a 14-28t 6-speed (normal spacing) freewheel on my Austro-Daimler club-riding bike (a Reynolds 531 "Inter-10" light touring frame built-up with the Campy gruppo salvaged from my old "too-big" Raleigh Pro). I recall that shifting on to the 28t in the very steep hills of northwest Arkansas was "okay" at best with 52-43 chainrings and there were some chainring/cog combinations I didn't dare use, but it still worked (albeit probably not very good by contemporary derailleur performance standards). The problem was the limited amount of chain that a Nuovo Record can wrap.

Question for the campy experts out there -- Can a Nuovo Record handle: 6-speed 14-28 freeewheel? 7-speed 13-26 freeewheel?
The basic questions are - upper cog size limits of the NR & performance ability lock-on closely spaced cogs such as the 7-speed. (Note - in pre-index 80's my Suntour Superbe Pro RD had no trouble navigating New Winner Pro 7-speed freewheels. However, current RD in question is circa 1974. )
Thanks!
