The Campagnolo Nuovo Record is a groupset manufactured by Campagnolo  which represented the top of their component range in the 1970s.

The first members of the gruppo to be introduced were the bottom bracket and rear derailleur in 1967, which  showed no significant differences in design than its predecessor, except for being composed of aluminum instead of chrome-plated bronze.

Initially the change was part of the previous Record groupset, and then the other components were produced, again without significant differences compared to Record. The crank, initially with round 151 mm bolts, soon adopted the new measure from 144mm to allow the use of chainrings slightly smaller, up to 41 teeth, although the standard soon became the 42 teeth, and only after some years Campagnolo introduced the chainring from 41 teeth to complete the range that went from 42 to 57.

It eventually went out of production in the early 1980s after a decade in which it had become the most desirable groupset that any cyclist could aspire. Is still a group much sought after by collectors.
