Campy 8 Speed Group Value

[CDollarsign]

All,
Trying to figure out the value of this group I got - wheels not pictured but campy record hubs laced to omega rims in great shape. Also interested in what year it may be from.

I also got a NOS 8 speed titanium cassette - any ideas?

Not sure if I am going to sell or throw on my merckx frame I have hanging in the basement.

Hi there, what you have there, I believe, is a mix bag of very nice vintage Campy parts.

The crank is C-record and there should be a date code behind the arms that needs to be decoded, but probably 1989'ish. The brake-set looks to be Chorus of the same vintage. The derailleur set looks to be C-record with syncro shifter.

It is a very nice "mix" gruppo overall and IMO very worthy of your vintage build.

Laser etched crank logo, no group name on rear der...pretty sure that makes it 1993/1994. Brakes look like Chorus, 1993..
BUT titanium 8s cogset was for only 2 years, 1996/1997 and would fit ONLY on a specific 1996 titanium axled rear hub with an alloy free hub body. Not the same FHB as 1997 Record 9s FHB..small differences.
They modified the FHB for 9s, made a Record Ti 9s subset for one year then went to a OS aluminum axle in 1998.

Dunno...The boxes in 90s were silver. Maybe very early 90s white..don't remember.

My vote is to keep it and use it. I just got done building up an Italian beauty with similar parts.



This will be at least the 4th bike I've had and run with Campagnolo 8-speed, great stuff.

You can even run modern wheels with them if you want. Get a 9 speed veloce cassette, drop off the largest cog, switch out the spacers for the ones with your 8 speed cassette and Viola, you now have a 8 speed Campagnolo cassette that will fit and index on a modern Campagnolo freehub.

We’re the blue spacers 8 speed? I think I still have some of those in a bag somewhere.
