Are the Campy Record ISO standard BB's worth a damn?
I wouldn't mind getting a Campy Record crankset to match the rest of my components someday ( the Dura- Ace crank does look like an elephant nose!) but Campagnolo doesn't have any plans right now to go to an exo- bearing system.
Is their current B.B. good?

If you are talking about the BB you are correct. I was refering to the crank, which is made in aluminum and carbon fiber. My fault for not being more specific.

This is a good deal for a new Phil BB:
https://www.lickbike.com/productpage.aspx?PART_NUM_SUB='0155-02'
I'm running one of these with a Chorus cranset and have an older (>15 yrs.) one on the mtn. bike. I'd run one of these over any Campy BB anyday (and I'm an utmost Campy snob).
Don't forget to buy the rings.
