How long have Campag been using 111mm as the default BB for Veloce, Athena and Racing T
triple cranks?

Pretty much forever. The 111mm was also the default BB length for C-Record, if I recall correctly,
and they stuck with it when they started doing Ergo. They shortened the BB to the current 103 (?)
when they reshaped the cranks to the current low-profile design at the high-end (Record/Chorus) in
the mid-1990s.

Apart from 115.5 (for oversized seat tubes), were any other sizes ever used with these
particular models?

thanks ~PB

Since about 1984, for Athena and Veloce. They designed racing T to take a 111mm for a 28.6mm
seat tube.

Nope. The era of Victory and Triompe used a 109mm, SR/NR/Gran sport used an assymetric 114mm. C-
Record, CDA and Chorus also used a 111mm until 1995, when Record and Chorus went to a 102mm, CDA was
adios long before that.
