Campag Gran Sport -

here are several pages from manufacturer catalogue nr. 14, published 1960

the Gran Sport components shown were "top-of-the-line" at that time

the Record model front mech had just launched in 1959/60

the next manufacturer general catalogue, nr. 15, was not published until 1967

What amazing images...they are works of art in themselves. I see how this works with the addition of a guide. What a simple solution. As you can see I am learning all the time and thoroughly enjoying it. Thanks once again juvela.

You started the thread by saying you was new to classic bikes. If you are new to bike restoration may I make the suggestion to buy the excellent Park Tool big blue book of bicycle repair? Also look on you tube at their videos, always something to learn on them. It will save you money in the long run.

Holdsworth began using Prugnat lugs, instead of Nervex on C.B. and Grubb in 1964.

Thank you I will have a look for the book. I have been watching the Park tool videos and they are excellent but I didn't know about he book. Together they will be a great resource. Much appreciated.

Thank you. Isn't it great that they are still in business sixty years later. Time is usually the sign of a company that invests in quality.
