Mark,

Campagnolo had several different product lines in play at that time.  One was called Nuovo Record and another was called Super Record.  They were both top of the line.  It's not always easy to tell which is which, unless you know some of the subtle differences.

If you can find the serial number and post it, probably stamped into the underside of the bottom bracket shell, interested parties here can look up the geometry and equipment of a bone-stock Trek of that model.  I can't think of any way that number breaches your privacy.  It's not like car VINs.  The 760 was one of Trek's racing-style bikes of the day.

The Aspin rims are tubulars of the day.  Two companies made a rim of that name, Wolber and Super Champion, that aren't quite the same.  I believe the two companies became one at some point, but I can't say if they were "married" when your bike was built.  It could have been built anywhere from November 1983 to October 1984.  In this forum I think it is regarded as marginally on-topic.  A year later and you might get scolded by the List Dad.

The website on which one can look it up is http://www.vintage-trek.com.  It will also give you the sizing of record.  To get a size that is more meaningful to us CR types, take a tape measure and measure the distance from the crank center to the middle of the joint between the seat tube (the one that connects the saddle and the crank) and the top tube, and the distance along the top tube from that junction point to a similar junction point where the top tube and head tube (steering) are joined.  Measure to the quarter inch or to the half-centimeter, depending what kind of measuring tape you have handy.  A yardstick will work, too.

Thanks Fred--I

'll get some pictures into a site tomorrow and send a note off with that information.  I just looked at the wheels--the sewup rims say A-S-P-I-N  between the spokes.  As far as I can see, every item says campy (not frame of course) including the original brake pads, toe clips and seat stem and so on.   It is not a big frame, but I'm trying to find the data for the  actual size.

I was a pretty good club rider 50 years ago, but I'm not current on some of the language used today--frame your questions with that in mind.

It is literally, unmodified from the day I got it--be nice to have it go to someone who could enjoy it.
