There is no doubt in my mind that the reported 1984 Gipiemme catalogue is much later than 1982. In 1981 Giovanni Battaglin won both the Tour a Espana and the Giro d'Italia riding a Campagnolo equipped Pinarello for the Inoxpran team. He set up his own company after these victories and for 1982 the team was riding Battaglin frames equipped with Gipiemme.

1982 advertisements feature the double fluted crankarms and the 1982 Battaglin catalog clearly show the bicycles equipped with this crankset and the rebadged Simplex deraillers. These cranksets have disappeared by the 1984 Gipemme catalog but the rebadged Simplex derailleurs are still present. So, the date for the 1984 catalog is realistic and the Battaglin catalog can be no older than 1982 as that was the debut model year for the brand. Consequently, the literature indicates that the rebadged Simplex derailleurs were the correct offerings in 1982.

Furthermore, for the Gipemme catalog with Exploit to be 1982, the company would have been violating SunTour's slant parallelogram patent., let alone the catalog showing a pursuit team with disc wheels, a full two years before Moser used them on his revolutionary hour record bicycle.

I'm still of the opinion that Campagnolo permitted Gipemme to use their Syncro II lever design after it had been replaced and that the subject catalog is early 1990s, possibly 1992, as opposed to 1982.
