A better example. My wife has a 1975 RRB she has owned since new. It has its original Campy headset. The bike has been in continuous service. For most of those years it was her only bike and some of those years it was her only transportation. Figure it was used 200 days a year most years and 300 days a year some years. The bike has been repainted twice. Five or six years ago Ron built a new fork. Until a year ago the RRB did not have fenders. Only times the headset has ever been serviced was at repaint or re-fork. Still works perfectly. Consider that through the winter she has always ridden in snow and Chicago salt slush. That is hard service. Campy was not in the business of selling beautiful fetish objects. They were in the business of selling tough bike parts that worked.
