    Everything was a Campag copy in the 70s, it's still interesting to see all of them. It's the narcissism of small differences.

    Not really. Sure Campa was quite dominent but there were a number of ecclectic companies about that did and continued to do their "own thing": CLB, Mafac, Maillard, Stronglight, Weinmann, Assos just to name a few. Phil Woods and Bullseye too flourished in the US 1970s bike boom being quite un-Campa like. Let us also not forget a number of innovative companies such as Modolo whose Professional took the market by storm when introduced in 1977.. Speaking of calipers.. CLBs had quite a following in France.. Despite production ending in the mid-1980s riders like Jeannie Longo continued to even use CLB calipers throughout her career..
