I still look at new Campy stuff and go "oooh, cool."
i attempted to create 1980s elegance and 2000s performance with my tommasini.
monoplanar calipers with modern cartridge pads
c-record crank arms with 10spd rings and a sealed bb
record titanium ergo levers w/ 10spd record internals
silver record 10spd record freehub w/ oversize axle
traditional chorus/athena low flange front hub


when veloce and centaur move to 11spd i think it would be cool if one of the alloy groups was given a "throwback" look. i dont see there being enough room in the market for 11spd veloce/centaur/athena anyway. they are already very close. (i dont see it happening though)
