Is the campy nuovo/record front mech the longest-lived campy design ?? I mean from the outset (when was the outset?) in about 1960 or how much earlier? That mech was used for the widest front triples and it was decades ahead of most other mechs.
There were minor changes for cable stops and CPSC regulations but other than that, wasn't campy shipping the same unit 25 years later in 1985 ?? When did production end ?? What was the total lifespan ??
