Nuovo Record _ Bottom bracket cups _ French thread set
These are the Nuovo Record bottom bracket cups made for Nuovo Record "Road Double" cranksets. These are the so called "Thick" cups. Notice the spiral threads or "Rifling" inside the axle openings. These were cut in a specific orientation to expel any stray water while the bike pedaled in a forward direction.
For some odd reason these were NOT made for use with the Record Triple spindles for their Triple cranksets... For more logical reasons, they were also not intended for Track spindles - since the bikes could be presumed to be ridden exclusively indoors or at least on dry tracks.
The length of the center sections of the Nuovo Record spindles were shorter than those of the Record spindles to allow for the reduced overall width when the thicker "depth" of these cups were threaded into a bottom bracket shell.
These are a NEW set which I'd been saving... for a future full-campy French bike.
