Da!...................Been using them for well over 25 years and so far so good. And concider the price difference!.................A BIG band for the $$$$$$$$$!
BTW: Campagnolo NR ( Record ) headsets, minus the orginal fork crown race but with a relacememt Triomph............Basically the same as an NR. Loose parts less a few keyed washer here and there we can build 50 plus headsets. NO JOKE!
While most Vintage dealers are pushing this stuff aside, I'm saying to myself GIVE IT TO ME!.........I'LL TAKE ALL YOU GOT!...We do a buy and the shop owner will saw! Here you take this, IT'S FREE!.....Not all of the time but enough for us to get JAZZED! Just last week, 3 lower fixed cups and crown races. Right on!....Hi wear items. A little here and there is all we need.
One time we did a total buy-out of all of Campagnolo small parts with a supplier! A German Customer saw what we we're doing and procceded to cherry pick though the stuff!....I spanked his hand and said! NO! NO! You go and find your own!...............He looked at owner of the place! And what did he get!......Raised eye brow!
Driving down the highway and our car was doing an...................LA drop!
BC Baron C..................And the gang!..........We're off on another buy! They said Small Campagnolo parts?..............We have, come and get it........We're gone! Renaissance cycles, Eindhoven Holland!................Soon to be SB!
