That was pretty cool. I think above all, I like the "simple" part.
I wonder why in the beginning, where they mention Campy's "1st in the world"s, they didn't mention brifters.
Oh, wait......

Can't wait to see a price. Might be a little scary.

Interesting what Campagnola did about touting their TdF exploits. Floyd Landis won the Tour on Campy, and remains the Tour champion until his appeals are denied. But Campy can't exactly put that in their video. So they find another Phonak rider who won something, and who struck a pose similar to Floyd's fist pumping on Stage 18. I am not sure who the rider is, but the helmet he is wearing was that worn by Phonak up to the start of the Tour, but was changed at the Tour's start.

You're a chump if you pay $600 for the Record crank (which is still cheaper than previous retail for record). That's retail! And those prices include the BB cups.

Carbon is still $360.
Campagnolo Record cranks in aluminium - some sprinters still prefer the rigidity of aluminium cranks. Boonen also uses Time's Impact pedals.

Hmmmm. Not so fast on this "up to 200 grams" lighter business, Campy. If you compare apples to apples (or Record Carbon to Record Carbon), the 2007 Ultra-Torque sheds a mere 28 grams.
