It said mechanical SR, so I'd guess CF. if they release a SR alloy commemorative group, I'll be sorely tempted!

Be interesting to see what they come up with, they did not do much for the 75th.
In modern times, the 80th is associated with pearls and diamonds.
Hopefully they won't go tacky.

If it was alloy, it would be the lightest alloy ever possible most likely. My guess is CF as well, but I am glad that it is mechanical. I'll guess 4k for the price.

Hmmm, if we're taking a shot at what the price will be, I'm guessing $4799 USD

I guess it will come in a CF display box this time......
A handful will find their way on to bikes, but most will dissapear into the bowels of gear collectors' stash....to be traded and sold as blue chip commodities in 20 years

Carbon, matte black, mechanical, and bora
They also show some bullets for fans of alloy brake tracks and clinchers.

50th doesn't do much for me and this does less. I'd rather spend cash on the Campagnolo cork screw and belt buckles.

I think a gray or silver emblem would have looked better, but I don't mind the design. Color wise, I think it looks better than the 50th gold on silver.
i guess a shield based emblem would have been better.
