Overview
Introduced in 1993 as Campagnolo's premier World Cup-level off-road group, the Campagnolo Record O.R. (Off-Road) set a new standard for sculpted Italian design in the mountain bike world. In contrast to earlier bulky integrated controls, Record O.R. introduced refined, independent cockpit architecture featuring sleek forged duralumin flat-bar brake levers paired with precise top-mount thumb shifters ("Thumbies").
Finished in satin black with stamped Campagnolo shield logos on the ergonomic lever blades and embossed crests on the rounded shifter hoods, this complete 4-piece control ensemble represents the ultimate mechanical cockpit from Vicenza. Featuring 3x8-speed capability (micro-friction front trimming with crisp rear indexing), integrated barrel adjusters, and lever reach adjustment screws, this set is in very good pre-owned condition—an elusive period-correct treasure for top-tier vintage mountain bike restorations (Merlin Titanium, Bianchi Cr-Mo, Fat Chance Yo Eddy, or Breezer).
