I also still have the bike I built myself back then. Viner frameset with full Campy Super Record (except for the titanium crank and pedal spindles).
If I recall correctly, in 1984 those tool kits were about $2,000.

Ha! you were a slave like me back then. So dumb of me to do this for the love of cycling and also needed the money. You were lucky, I was not allow to touch the Campy tools. It belonged to the head mechanic. Who made the Ti crank for your Viner back then? I remember pros were breaking the Campy Ti spindles.
