I was reading this here, about the two orange Varsities, suddenly it sounded too familiar. So I looked at the post's author and, yep, same guy who came by today for a Craigslist-initiated bike trade! As we talked about the Varsities, I remember him telling me he used a modern, near-ground-level rack to carry them around, I joked that maybe a wheelchair lift might be best.

Anyway, it's a small world after all. Great meeting Tomm and perhaps someone could chime in who knows if (on a different topic here) Campagnolo ever sold the short-front/long-rear Record caliper set having recessed-mounting studs(?). Maybe a dedicated-topic post will be needed to get Tomm an answer(?).
