Campy Record / Chorus / Athena aero pedals?

I would really like a set. What are the differences and why are they so expensive on eBay? Does anyone have a spare set they'd get rid of for a fair price?

Also, how many posts do you need to post a for sale ad on the C&V sale board?

They are expensive because they are old Campagnolo parts.

The differences are mainly in weight. If you hold the C-record up next to the Chorus, the body the Chorus is thicker and less sleek than the C-record. Same for comparison to the Athena. I have a Chorus on one bike and a Record on the other, and they both run similarly well. I keep the Record on it's bike because that bike is nearly all aluminum Campy 10-speed Record.

I have a set of Campagnolo Croce D'aune pista pedals and they are great for touring and appearance. The Record C pista , Croce D'aune pista pedals are the most sought after for their polish and graceful design. That's why they are expensive.

I agree about clipless. I bought my bike for mostly fair weather commuting, so I'd rather not have to bring a pair of shoes to change into. PM me and let's try to work something out on the pedals.

I read on velobase that the difference between Athena and Chorus is the pedal axle. They have different part numbers, so the axles are different. I would just guess the Chorus axles are lighter than Athena.

I have a pair of these pedals and don't know if they're Chorus or Athena. I have another pair that look almost exactly like 'em, but the outer plate doesn't curve around to accept the strap. I think those are Victory. To my eye, Victory looks just like C-Record, but the back plate isn't removable via screws like C-Record.

Unlike old Record pedals where you can get a hub cone wrench on the pedal cone, you cannot do that with either of my two sets. I don't know if they're easy to overhaul otherwise, so I haven't done it. I just pushed more grease in there.

Here's a good link with lots of pics to help identify Campagnolo aero pedals. So for C-record I found it a useful tip to go foraging for mushroom-shaped plate to attach the toe-clip...not that I ever found any that I could afford.

Campagnolo aero pedals, the complete list - Le Cycleur

There is also a good guide to identifying the various types of Campag levers on that site too.

Thanks, man. From that page, I found this quote interesting:

"Athena pedals are identical to Chorus pedals! But you had to pay a bit more for a different box."

My android phone's Chrome browser wouldn't let me click your posted link, but when I google searched for the title, it came right up.

Here are the Athena/Chorus pedals I bought nos for $30 several years ago. I really like them with the slipper-like, old-school japanese running shoes I wear.





And here are the Victory pedals from the Trek donor I just bought.



​​​​​​As of yesterday, these are now on my Miyata. They are missing the original hardware that attaches the clip. Here's a pic of the hardware:



I could purchase the hardware set on ebay for $45, but I'll look for a less expensive solution. Maybe @rootboy can manufacture us some.

S​​​​​o far, the Victorys (or is it Victories?) feel a little weird/different than the Chorus ones due to the lack of that curved piece. But they should work out. I haven't ridden them much yet. So far, my foot can't tell that the hardware is missing, "which is nice."

No, unlike Victory, the backing plate on C-Record uses screws.

I said, "slipper-like"!

What's Puyallup's own @Andycapp doing these days? I just read an old thread where he manufactures these little aluminum plates for my missing Victory pedals.

https://www.bikeforums.net/classic-v...-thingies.html

In related news, the verdict is in on these Victory pedals. No, they're not as comfortable for me as the Chorus. But I can do under 50mi on 'em, no prob.
