General Information

Campagnolo Nuovo Record brakes were produced for many years beginning in 1968 - these first-year calipers did not have the "Campagnolo" name stamped on them and they had a square rear shoulder section marked "BREV CAMP" on the front caliper center bolt.

Lettering was added in 1969. A short-reach version followed during production in the mid-1970's, and a domed quick-release - a mandatory change to meet CPSC standards - differentiates the calipers made after 1977. Original releases of these brakes were nutted, and later variations were available with recessed mounting.

I added two photos of a full set of the first year version of these brakes - 1968 - pulled from a 1969/1970 Raleigh Pro and in remarkable condition. The first photo shows the four distinguishing features of the first year. (1) The brake caliper center bolt has a square shoulder, not beveled; (2) the caliper arms have no lettering; (3) the lever body is light colored; and (4) the lever has a squared profile (a little more metal) around the pivot hole, as compared to all later versions that had a more rounded profile. This square profile is easy to see when disassembled, but can be discerned with a careful eye when assembled. The second photo includes an assembled next generation lever, and a disassembled lever for a compare and contrast. The lighter body is not unique to the first version lever with the square profile.
