How to Identify a Campagnolo

The Italian company Campagnolo produces a series of bicycle components found on elite level bicycles such those used in the Tour de France and other professional races. Identifying Campganolo parts is as easy as finding the familiar Campagnolo name. There are different levels of quality, including Veloce, Record and Super Record.

      Stand up the bicycle and check the rear derailleur -- off the right side of the rear wheel. Check the side bar for the name Campagnolo. This will be small, followed by the product line from Campy. Names to look for include Record, Veloce, Centaur, Athena and Super Record.

      Look at the bicycle brakes and shifter levers. These are found on the drop bars of the bicycle, also known as handlebars. Find the word Campagnolo running down the length of the brake lever. Look to the side to find the product line of the Campagnolo part.

      Check the brakes. These will be located just above the wheel where the frame connects the fork or rear wheel split. The brakes are upside-down horseshoe shape. Look for Campganolo in small lettering on the outer edge of the brake metal.

      Inspect the chainrings and cranks. The cranks are where the pedals are placed along the spline and turned to generate power. There will be a defined Campagnolo along the edge of the cranks.
