Campagnolo Victory - Bottom Bracket + Spindle
This is what the seller had put up for auction; if nothing else those are not Victory cups. I did a little research and and eventually won the auction'
I like to think of myself as knowing Campy components and your's stuck out. First as I said, the BB was not a Victory BB; the spindle was Victory but the the Campy bottom brackets were aluminum with steel races, marked the old "Brev. Inter." (International Patent) markings rather than "Made In Italy". Below are some Super Record cups that look similar, compliments of VeloBase.com
According to Bicycle Classics.com * Victory 109 mm 68-SS spindle, fits 1958-1987 Record Pista cranks too, FRENCH or BSC, same as Record 68-P-120 Pista except it is marked 68-SS . While it's possible the previous user used the C-Record cups with the Victory spindle and crankset, but it's more likely the user needed to replace the C-record Pista spindle and did so with the Victory spindle.
* Bicycle Classics.com also said Only the double NR and SR cranksets used the rifled (thick-wall) cups. All singles and triples used Record (thin-wall) cups. Which shows even the experts are sometimes wrong.
