I just love these Vinatge Campy ads...
I posted these on a Classic & Vinatge site I also terrorize and thought a few of you might also enjoy these ads. I have scanned them also in high quality in case you would like to download them. I know a few people printed them out in poster format for their bike caves.
Happy Friday and enjoy, Gadois Raw, high quality scan: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/60308577/CampySRAd.JPG From May 1978 Bicycling Magazine: High quality scan: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9467319/CampyBrakes.JPG |

It was wonderfully well made but both Shimano Dura Ace and Suntour Superbe from the same era shifted better......
But the Italians sure make purdy stuff....... |

I'm saying this because well set up, early 70s bike stuff, using a little cycling sense and technique, worked quite well, Campagnolo, early shimano and Suntour. |

Wasn't it Frank Berto that said "Campy NR RD's are so well made they will continue to shift poorly for decades to come"? Last edited by witcombusa; 02-25-2012 at 07:50 AM. |

Not Campy bashing here, just my current observations. I'm a retro fan! |

That became second nature after a while. It sure was good at shiftiing to a bail out gear on the rear freewheel. |

Thanks for the high-res Gadois
This will make great man-cave art (when I finally get one that is...) The illustrations are as beautiful as the parts themselves. |

N.R with Simplex Retrofriction shifters, like buttah! Actually, those shifters with any rear der.

Eros won gold medals at the 84 Olympics and 87? World Championships in team time trial for Italy. This looks like it was taken at a velodrome. Don't know if Eros rode on the track team although he was the Italian national pursuit champion. Hmm. Last edited by Buzz; 02-25-2012 at 03:38 PM. |
