I haven't said anything on the groupset yet. I will not come as a surprise that the 'Model Campagnolo' comes with a full Campagnolo groupset. In this case it is Nuovo Record.

The groupset has an interesting feature: 'Portacattaneo' it is called, I've been told.

Nuovo Record shift-control >>



Looks like a regular shifter, but when looking closely you spot a 2nd small lever hidden under the shifter. This pic shows it better >>



When you lift the bit you can position the shifter one step down and the chain will shift onto below plate that sits bolted to the frame >>



The purpose is that when you take the rear wheel out, you first shift down onto the plate and the chain will still be tensioned with wheel out.
