Campy Record was available in 1962 and was an option for Paramounts. The cranks were 151bcd then but I'm going to go with a slighter newer NR 144bcd crank; I don't think my knees would ever forgive me if I went with the 151bcd. I have a 1st gen. Record FD with cable stop coming and am looking for an early Record RD as well as a set of old Weinmann tubular rims. I've been looking at bar mounted bottle cages; those things are expensive!
Thanks for the info. Sounds good. Going with 144 Record cranks is sensible. 42 is big enough for a small chainring. Not like they look different anyway. I still have a first gen Record FD with a stop in my parts box, and I don't even remember where I got it! It's currently a desk decoration.
The replica REG style 'Elite' bar mount cages aren't too bad, though not exactly cheap. Anyone tried them? I never liked the spring cages, but in handlebar position, they might be useful for preventing fly away bottles. Still this bike is special enough to justify forking out for vintage TA or something.
