For fans of the finest co mpe titive

Srh and 6th overall.
At the professionallevel, Greg

The Las Vegas Bicycle Show
Three th ousand rwo h undred rooms
make the Las Vegas H ilton the World's
largest h otel. Being n ext door to the
Las Vegas Convention Cen ter made
Hilton the main base for many who
atte nded "lnterbike '82."
With no other fall sh ows, this W'd S
expected to be the launch ing of the preChristmas sales push . The sh ow was well
attended by manufacturers and dist ributors alike, however, the atte ndance
of Bicycle Dealers was slightly less than
expected. W ith the ex posi tion's timing
and location , fu ture shows are expected
to do even be tter.
Few co mpanies had any thi ng n ew
to show, most pushed with specials
to encourage dealers to purchase preChn srmas merchandise. CampagnoloU .S.A . , Inc . chose to make Inrerbike
'82 the America n debut of two new
groups. The new products were first
sh own on ly two weeks before ar rh e
Cologne Germany Bicycle Show. The
new components are a yet unnamed,
rop-ot-the-hne series above super record
and the "victory" series in a price ra nge
above gran sport.
Dealers were overwh elmed by the
design and execution of th e new com-

Vegas style, many dealers made wagers
on the pri ces of the n ew equipment.
But rhe final settli ng of th e wagers will
have to wait as the prices have n ot yet
been established.
When yoo visit the 1983 edi tion of
"lnterbtke". be sure and h ave di n ner

food is good, portions are large and the

The applicati on of C ampagnolo
axles can be determined by certain
measurements and surface markings
(see Charts 1-7 at end of text). In
1977, the Campagnolo front changer,
crank arm and bottom bracket axle
were re-designed. The axle modifications affected on ly measurements "B~
& ~C" on the road axles (FIG . l}. th e
cups and track bottom brackets were
not affected by rh is change. Thus. th e
mixing of old and new styles and cran k
arms is not advised . as the resultan t
ch ain-line mav deviate from th e
optimum.
