Any idea on this one folks? It's marked BREVETTI INTERNAZ CAMPAGNOLO. I think it's a bit newer than the last one, which was, BTW, a PITA as was mentioned. It's embarrasing how long it took install the seat.
This one is also much lighter than the Nouvo Record. Thanks.

Campy used to make off-set tools for their seatposts. It might be possible to find a similar tool in an auto repair store or hardware store. I haven't look myself . My use Alien takes a bit of time to adjust too.

It's hard to tell from the photos- it could be C-Record, Chorus, Athena, or other from 80's - early 90's?
They all kind of looked the same in that period.
Maybe someone else can be more specific.

1. It's not a C-Record seatpost.
2. It's either Croce d'Aune, Chorus or Athena.
3. As far as I know, these three are the same.
Hope this helps.

25 years ago, when the Nuovo Record seatpost was on my bike, I, like everyone else had this 'tool' problem. Solution: I bought the cheapest apropriate spanner on the market, bend it in a vice, adn voila, there was my 'offset' spanner! I still have it, though I don't use this type of post anymore.

C-Record looks similar (aero), except used the Nuovo Super Record (later one bolt) style top, and weighed less than the above post.

It is most likely a Chorus, after '87. I bought a post from a LBS in '87 that was supposed to be C-Record, but was exactly like this. The C-Record had a single exposed bolt like the later super record posts did. I still have my Chorus, and still feel a little screwed almost 20 years after the fact...but it is with a complete Chorus grouppo so I don't resent it quite as much.

I'm pretty sure one of my posts is exactly like that one. Mine is a mid to late 80's C-Record. I bought it as part of a grouppo. Too late to check it tonight, too lazy to walk to the garage. Maybe tomorrow.
Didn't Campy get into the habit of introducing a new Record group, and producing the last years Record stuff as Chorus the following year???? Same stuff different boxes?
Edit: I checked, single bolt through from the post side to the saddle.
