Nuovo Record was almost completely pre-titanium. Campy experimented (on the public) with some Ti bits in teh Super Record gruppo, and backed off from some of those choices. NR parts should be very strong and long-lasting in general. However, many of them are 35 years old and may approach 50 while you ride them, so inspect carefully.

I'd have the same opinion of well-used early DuraAce.
