I noticed that, I have two that are the same in basic details but one has the cable stop closed (no cable slot) with a steel ferrel pressed in so securely that I decided to leave it. The ferrel is in there so securely that I just have a gut feeling that it was that way on purpose. Why Campagnolo abandoned the screw retention of the arms is lost to me other than saving costs. My very first road bike came with a circa 1972 unit that began to droop under the stress of shifting.


The bike is very handsome, this is one of the few Italian bikes I have seen that from a distance looks French, the colors and chrome just kind of speak that to me.

I should mention that there is no stopping on this bike, it was built to GO. Nor effective shifting either....

And someone had transferitis, way too many curiously placed graphics. But I still like it.
