On the flats a 50x11 is pretty close to a 53x12 over all. I take it you have a new 11 speed cassette?
This is a 10 speed Daytona, which I was told later became Centaur because some one didnt like Campy using the Daytona name. This is a used bike and part of the reason I got it was that this componet group appeared to be a couple steps up from what I could get on a new bike in the same price range. I did a scan on craigslist and way more Shimano then Campy parts...live and learn. That said the leap in technology on this new bike has been like going from a black and white TV to color.
