Campagnolo 50th anniversary group

[Canuk]

I read up thread that the 50th was heavier than the Super Record group, how so?

Bought the pedals and the bottom bracket for 200, well chuffed! I've already got the chainset and the derailleurs, so just a hunt for the brakes and the seat post

I guess gold (if it is pukka gold?) is heavier than steel/aluminium/titanium

Yes, I believe he did.

From memory some of the extra weight (not that there was a lot of it) was also because the cranks were not fluted wheras IIRC, at the time SR were ... I may be wrong. It's been a long time ... :-D

Non fluted, I think the actual gold element was pretty thin, so not much weight there. I've got nearly the entire group now. I'll forsake the hubs and now on the hunt for a pair of reasonable priced Sheriff stars

Plenty track hubs available, but road versions not easy to find now though. 4 grand for a pair of century finish NOS hahaha

Looks like all the spoke head countersinks are on the same side...
Early shimano d-a had then 6 alternating... much more useful because you really want all the spokes to bed in in the same manner.
OK
on the front for radial, but the rear?
Am I misunderstanding something?

Q1. Is the Pope a Catholic?
Q2. Do bears sh*t in the woods?
