History
Campagnolo Super Record was released in 1974 as the successor to Campagnolo’s top tier group set, Nuovo Record. The Super Record group set was in production from 1974 to late 1980’s. The following cables were included with the Super Record group set, however these cables were generally utilized at all group set levels.
Interestingly, the ferrule on modern Campagnolo shift and brake cables is nearly identical to those of modern group sets which means you can use modern Campagnolo cables with vintage group sets.

I have a vintage Bottecchia Giro d’Itlalia purchased in 1973. The rear derailleur says Campagno Record. The front shifter cable is frayed and must be replaced. Can you tell me what I need to purchase?
Thanks
Hi Dean, if you need a new shift cable you can either try to source original New Old Stock (NOS) cables on eBay, or I suspect modern Campagnolo shift cables should work. Find out more about this on my restoration article. Probably a good idea to replace the front derailleur cable as well if you are going to be riding the bike.
