Yeah neither did I, it was the only one left in the shop, so I took it. Only saw one other like it back in Ontario. I like the Mavic set up, and never had issues with it. I just never could afford to get the Campy gear back then and always wondered how it would have rode and felt. As far as from an aesthetic point of view, I do like the look of the C Record though. Italian on Italian looks nice.
I will keep the Mavic group and can always change it out later.
Cheers
