Re: Calling the Campy Experts here
Not having as much funding as you, I rebuilt a 1971 Raleigh Pro with
Athena/Chorus/Racing Triple. The ONLY snags I encountered were finding a way to attach down tube guides (no braze-ons) and finding a ferrule that would work well with the small eyelet on the chain stay. Snags weren't that serious, and it works perfectly. apoman60612@yahoo.com (Mark) wrote in news:68236fb6.0404212011.6c961a35 @posting.google.com: > Hi folks, Please forgive me on my lack of knowledge of this topic, I > have a question for you all. > > I'm going to be building up an NOS Paramount frame, and have a strong > desire to build this bike with nothing but hopefully Record > Components. |

It's a Paramount for goshsakes. The objective should be to integrate form and function while adhering to the aesthetics of the period the frame represents, which does not necessarily mean using old components. My recommendation is to go with all-alloy Campy, but not Record. What I think would look out of place is carbon components. I think that alloy colored Ergo shifters would look just fine. Pre-2004 Chorus sounds about right or Centaur aluminum finish. And, especially, no dark anodized rims. JP |

The 2003 Chorus crankset is aesthetically the closest one to the nuovo record crankset. This would make a good start the build of your bike. As for rims, Mavic silver MA3's are available and affordable and they are pretty close to the MA2s which were one of the most popular rims of the period. - Don Gillies San Diego, CA |
