=================

Here's the entry: 1967 Catalog #15 is printed for the year-end trade shows. Included for the Record group is the Nuovo Record alloy rear derailleur and the Nuovo Record bottom bracket (rifled axle aperture cups). Also the triple chainring crank and cyclocross flanged-chainring crank, the Nuovo Tipo small and large flange hubs (round holes in flanges, no oil hole and stamped steel races), Record pedals (name change), a new Record headset, the Valentino group, pedal spanner (15-16-17mm multiple head), portable repair stand, and the obscure large flange track hubs with curved lever quick releases.

Incidentally, I update the Timeline everytime I learn a new factoid. It probably averages an update every month or even less than a month!
