This is the last year Components did not have the group name printed on them.  It is also the last year some components are still the original C Record design including the crankset, front derailleur, front hub and seat post.  It is also the FIRST year of Exa-Drive, with new chainrings, cassettes, Sachs chains, guided upper pulley and a ramp on the inner cage of the front derailleur.  Sometimes considered the last (and best) year of the "C-Record" era.

BONUS!  Technical manual detailing disassembly & rebuild of first generation ErgoLevers!

1992 Regina Extra  - Click Picture to download Sample

What's this Regina Catalog doing here?   A few reasons:

First and foremost, Throughout the early "C-Record" Era, Campagnolo was not offering a chain or an updated freewheel.   Regina's offerings were usually the item of choice.  Campagnolo's early index shifting systems are reputed to work best with Regina Syncro freewheels and asymmetrical chains.

Secondly, Regina's failed attempt at a road component group shown in this catalog is representative of the final split between Campagnolo and Regina.  In this same time period, Campagnolo has begun stamping-out it's own Cassettes, and re-boxing chains made in Germany (Rohloff) as their own.

As far as I know, no changes in 1990 for Record, Croce D'Aune, Chorus and Euclid.  I have never seen catalogs for these dates.  Athena catalog dated 4/89 above is identical to previous year.  New for 1990 is the Xenon Road Group Dated 6/89, and the Centaur MTB group dated 4/89.  Rims and Wheels Catalog dated 8/90 for Anaheim.

BONUS!  144 Page Dealer Parts Catalog!  Catalog contains exploded assembly views of all components and detailed parts break-down and assembly.  The only known parts information available for late 1980's equipment, these catalogs were individually serial numbered and distributed only to authorized dealers in a hardcover binder.  No further Parts Catalogs exist for years after due to a largely un-followed plan for Dealers to request updated pages as needed.

Record is dated February 1987, and is otherwise IDENTICAL to the 1987 Catalog below.  Might just be a second printing, but I have not seen anything else specific to 1988 for Record.  Introduction of Croce D'Aune dated November 1987. Introduction of Chorus dated July 1987.

Record & Nuovo Groups dated November 1986.  Record Delta Brakes are back.  Logos are now printed on the crank arms and Delta caliper covers instead of being engraved.  Upgrades in both Nuovo groups from 1986 consist only of leather toe straps, black brake pads & a polished BB axle.

Un-dated Brochures.  Delta Brakes are temporarily replaced with "dressed-up" 50th Anniversary Super Record Brake calipers with a Cobalt-colored ("Cobalto" in Italian) gem instead of the gold badge on the center bolt.  Also, the Campagnolo name on the arm is filled with blue.  Only the Cobalto Calipers are offered at this time and are pictured in the Record flyer.  The next two catalogs both show Cobalto calipers and as such are probably both catalogs from 1986. Rims catalog also seems to be from this period.

 
Undated - Click Picture to view
Undated Brochures.  Content of the white catalogs compared to 1986 catalogs seems to indicate these simply may not have been final revisions.  First use of the Campagnolo Alphabet, and the only year the alphabet character was placed above the Campagnolo Logo. Electa Brochure is the only known document, thus probably the final version.

 
Catalogue n.18 bis - Click Picture to download Sample
Addendum to Catalog 18 for the introduction of the new component groups.  This catalog dated December 1986.  I've seen an identical catalog dated April 1985.  This catalog identified the Record road components as the "Record Corsa group", and the Track Components as "Record Track group".   While the Italian word "Pista" was correctly translated to "Track", the word "Corsa" was not translated to "Road".  This possible "Typo" may be the basis for the nickname "C-Record".... a name never actually appears in product catalogs by Campagnolo.

The Introduction of "C" Record, Victory & Triomphe equipment.  The Cerchio (rims) catalog is undated but has one page identical to a rims page in the main catalog, so it is assumed to be 1984 despite the use of the older world logo on the cover.
