Hi Folks:
   The first Campagnolo Turismo,about 1960,looked like a cheaply finished Gran Sport with stamped cage plates and the simple name"Turismo".Accompanied by about the same thing simply named"Campagnolo"on the parallelogram.Later on,the famous big steel machine called Gran Turismo.Gran indeed.Finally the more or less elegant Rally in several versions.About 1960 there was also some down-market Campagnolo large flange hubs resembling Normandy that might be known as Tipo Vecchio or Tipo Cheapo(?).All these older things don't seem to have made it to the catalogs.
    Sorry if redundant;I get the Digest for efficiency's sake.
