I am looking to buy a pair of Campag record cranks that are in great condition made in the 70s. Is there a difference in quality from the 70s to the 80's?

Not sure that there is much of a difference in quality - however, 80's need a 114.5mm bottom bracket which are a bugger to find. 70's need a 112mm (from memory).

I'm looking around on the interweb and I'm seeing lots of 115mm and 111mm BB's for Campagnolo cranks. I haven't seen a mention of 112s? Would a 111mm BB work?

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
