Seems everything is Super Record on ebay

There are two things that all the time annoy me about bike parts on ebay; the first is calling a part "rare"; if the part was truely rare there probably wouldn't be 2 or 3 of the same also on ebay. The second is the calling of Campy parts "Super Record", when they are obviously not or worse, a part that has been modified to look like something it's not; such is this auction http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Camp...item4171f96e63. It wasn't until 1979 that the black anodized lower and upper arm of the Super Record three hole front derailleur appeared and at the same time the Nuovo Record 3 hole front derailleur was introduced (with a clamp change for both 3 years later); the only difference being the black anodized arms; the Super Record however does tend command more attention and a higher price. The seller in this auction seems to have found a way around this; either that or the sun has faded the black ano to purple.
