The date I have heard most often for the introduction of CPSC-compliant equipment is 1978. That would be date for the following items mentioned in the list from your message (quoted below): The lip for the front der, the crank q, the BB spindle 112-114.5, and the domed QR on the brakes. Other CPSC changes not mentioned were the little plastic shrouds around the rear derailleur adjusting screws and the curved QR skewers. Were there any others?

BTW, the Olympics were in 1984 and that is the date on the cover, but the catalog was published in 1982.

I think that a frequent question about campagnolo equipment is, "when did campy change from early 1970's designs to late 1970's / CPSC designs?" and the year is not pinpointed by the catalogues because a lot changed between catalogue #17 supplement (1975) and the "Olympic" catalogue (1984), if I'm reading Bob's catalogue chronology correctly.

Also, I think that newcomers (such as myself) do not realize that a production bike with campy components that is sold in year #K usually has "PATENT (K-1)" componentry. I don't know if the same is true for custom bikes, but it seems to be the golden rule for schwinns paramounts & raleighs.
