Campagnolo Triomphe ?
Found this dusty old thing hanging in my garage and was pretty sure this was a Triomphe groupo... can anyone confirm this for me ?

If I am correct on anything it is only because of Cuda's excellent work on Velobase.

Velobase was the first thing I thought of when I was going to attempt to help. Looks like you're right though...
Furthermore, why the heck was that beauty hanging in your garage collecting dust! I'd love a bike like that! |

A bent fork and the fact it's a little large for me had something to do with it...

Victory, and I can straighten that fork for you.

It could be 'Victory' I can never tell the two a part. They are the lower end tho

Super Record (out by '87) Victory Triomphe 990 980 Wouldn't call it lower-end, particularly when it's essentially SR with a cosmetics job and a better RD (though the calipers are two-position like Nuovo Gran Sport). Granted, it doesn't have too much snob appeal (and it is generally - and ungraciously) tacked onto frames just under the Columbus SL notch, but I wholeheartedly consider it the all-time, under-appreciated Campagnolo group of the pre-indexing era.

Cuda - Thanks.
My Campy lore is weak. |

The Victory spider runs with straight edges into the chainring. The Triomphe flares out a little at the spider-ends.
|
No doubt that this is all Victory. And Victory is a reliable groupset, significantly better than Triomphe when one considers the rear derailleur performance (Triomphe RD was crap), particularly the later Victory versions. Victory gets rather low resale value, and it is easily confused with Triomphe. The brake levers are also markedly different from Triomphe and way cooler.

-Kurt P.S.: Forgot to mention - Victory FD's came in braze-on variants, Triomphe did not, IIRC. |
Well if it's too big for you and the fork is bent and you won't be needing it any more just drop me a PM. What size is it anyway?
|
victory
any idea what model bike it is? Kinda looks like it might be a Rekord 748 or 848.
|
yes just what size is it? if it is unwanted I know someone who might take the poor orphan in (wink wink)
|
The frame will be orphaned and I will take a proper measurement.
|
same groupo i have on my univega. its nice i like it. Looks very nice.
|
The frame is 56 cm dt and 56 dt... just a speck too tall for me.
I sealed the deal on my new road frame and should have that bike built up on Monday... :) |
