Campagnolo Hub ID
 

Like to many things in my life Campagnolo baffles me. I see similar hubs listed on Ebay as Super Record and Nuovo Record. From what I've read, Super Record hubs are somewhere between rare and a fairytale. What do I have here, and is there a way to date them.

Thanks.

There's all kinds of talk about Super Record hubs, but I've never so much as seen a picture of a set. They supposedly have titanium axles. I believe there may have been some prototype modeks made but no production versions. There really aren't Nuovo Record hubs either, just Record.

What you have are Record hubs. Flat lever would indicate pre-CPSC (~1977). The cone/nut hardware holding things together will have a date stamp 99% of the time, I have several with no date though.

Remove the outer axle locknuts and look for a patent date.

So, I have 1972 Record hubs.

Thanks guys!

With English threading.
The single groove just beyond the thread land is the identifier.
Italian was plain.
French was two thin grooves.
This is before they stamped the pitch.

What you have is some danged fine hubs there.

Do you know what year did they start stamping the pitch on the hub? - I have a '74 (locknut ID) Italian-threaded set with no stamping but would really like to know when stamping was introduced.
