The few non Campagnolo parts are the handlebar and stem, they are Shimano Dura-ace.
I do have SGR pedals, but they difficult to release, so decided for toeclips and straps. I also have Look Chorus pedals.
NICE!.
I don't think Campy ever made bars and stems. And I never did like the water bottle.
I did a break down and some clean up / lube on my SGRs the other night. They aren't mounted on a bike, but just clicking in and manually "kicking out" they seemed pretty smooth. No worse than my Mavic Look-look-a-likes. Too bad they didn't stick with the SGRs - looks like there is some good work there, but just needs a bit more engineering... Although I think the positioning of the tensioning mechanism in front of the spindle may have been the down fall (mechanically).
I'll probably get a couple pairs of Record Pro Fits - one for a future project, and one for my C-Record machine. I'll use the SGRs when I want to go full-on Corsa Geek.
I have a set of Omega Strada Hardox (NOS) and C-Record hubs (virgin front) that I need to get laced. (I also have Record hubs with Araya CTL-370s rims, and Chorus hubs with Mavic GL/GEL rims).
I'm hoping to find a good deal on a saddle soon... But there was also a Brooks / Campagnolo saddle that might do as well.
I wonder why they got out of the saddle business, or at least didn't maintain a partnership with a full time saddle maker.
