The most effective way to obtain a Campagnolo group will be from a donor bike, look for a good condition outlier sized, (small or large) Italian bike to draw from, you will get perhaps all you need. They do show up.
Exactly so. I've always thought of California Masis as Italian-style. Nothing about them was done, at least in the first 8 years or so, that was not as Faliero had taught - at least that's my story. We can (probably will) argue about whether '70s circa US Masis are better or more valueble than Italian, but ... so what.
