Need help idenifying Campy component

[Rickn]

I encountered a (used?) Campagnolo triple crankset that is
for sale that is labeled "RACING T." I have since searched
a bunch of sites trying to find some reference to this
series of components with no luck. I would like to know
where "RACING T." resides in the Campy "quality scale".
Thanks, Rick

If you enter 'campagnolo racing triple' (the name of this
line of components) in google, you'll get lots of info,
including discussions in the groups section.

My limited knowledge says that it was pretty high quality,
and Campy's initial effort in the recent past to catch up
with the triple road market. Maybe they were scared to put
an established line's name on it until they had more
experience with triples?

It's essentially Athena, which is a tight squeeze between
Chorus & Daytona/Centaur

I have a Racing T triple chainset and a Centaur triple
chainset..

They are identical.

It was the triple option for Chorus and Record. Nice quality
crank if you like 130/74

Huh? Its my understanding that Campy uses a 135mm bcd, not
130bcd. The Racing T crank that I recall was 135/74.
Anyways, the Racing T triple crank is an excellent crank and
was arguably one of the best deals for a triple.

**Which should have read "if you like 135/74" **

Yes, you're right. Another reader just emailed me a minute
ago about that.

Mea culpa- -yes sometimes I type faster than I can type.
