Today I bought a Della Santa equipped with old-school Campy. You know, down-tube shifters, 7-speed wheels, cranks, that kind of stuff. I don't know what I have or even if I want it. Can any of you help me identify this gear? I can send good digital images.
Based on the information you gave, which is about zip, who can say? Try searching ebay for Campy parts. Search for Nuovo Record, Super Record or maybe Gran Sport, and see if any of it looks like what you have. "Dave Thompson" <[email hidden]> wrote in message "]news:[email hidden]...

Thanks in advance for your help, Dave --
Another poster suggested eBay to see what you've got. That will also show you how much you can get for old Campy stuff. It might surprise you. I've been selling bits and pieces for a couple of months. Many people are rebuilding old classics and will pay top dollar even for used Campy stuff. While I personally can appreciate vintage cars, bikes and other stuff, I prefer the modern gear for daily use.
If it's 7-speed, it's not likely to be Nuovo Record or Gran Sport. I forget if Super Record was ever 7-speed. I think the most likely group is C-Record or Croce d'Aune (i.e. post 50th Anniversary groups), if not more recent Record/Chorus/Athena 7-speed groups.

Seven speed Nuovo Record, Super Record Reduced, Super Record (and Super Record 50th!) was a common new bike format from about 1978 through about 1986. USA pro shops used mostly Suntour freewheels at the time. Yes, C-180 Croce d'Aune and the first Chorus were usually seven as well. Gran Sport bikes were usually six for reasons of cost, not compatibility. Factory equipped bicycles from Italy were mostly six until the late '80s.
