Campy Question
I have just purchased a lovely 1977 Campy Nuovo Recornt front and rear mech set.
Quick question what am I looking at for cassette 8 or 9 speed or something else?
And should I be looking for a compatible chainset of any type as well?
Any help much appreciated

The SRAM PC48 or PC58 should work fine with
older group. They look period correct too.
The ultimate is to score a Sedis, Regina or Everest
chain off e-bay.
I believe the Nuovo record rear will work with 7speed
freewheel (or cassette for that matter) but I don't think
it will handle the spread of an 8 speed. I know they worked with the old Suntour Ultra7 freewheels but that
required a specific thin chain (will modern 9 or 10 speed chain work here?). The real question should be will it
handle the spread of the cogs you are gonna run.
