Have you sent any pictures to Hary Cap?
Hey John. Thank you for your comments. So, do you want to trade Badges?
Yes those are TA cranks. I think I got rid of the cottered cranks about a week after I acquired the bike. 'Never was a fan of cotter pins. So with the difference in chain ring size I replaced the original Campy deraileurs with a Campy Record on the back and a nameless Campy something on the front. The seat post, pedals and clips are vintage Campy that I got off Ebay. I think the rest of the parts (minus the saddle, tires and straps) are original or exact replacements of the original parts. I even lucked out with finding white Weinmann brake hoods.
I haven't sent pics to Mr Cap yet but I was thinking of mailing him a disc. It would be really cool if he'd offer a little more info on the history of the Capo company.

Do we have enough Capo owners to start a cult?
