Campagnolo Power Torque Bottom Bracket English
Campagnolo Chorus Cassette 12-27
Campagnolo Athena Rear Derailleur
Campagnolo Athena Front Derailleur
Campagnolo Athena Ergo Levers - ALLOY
Campagnolo Athena D Skeleton Brakeset
Campagnolo Chorus 11 Speed Chain
Campagnolo Athena Alloy Groupset 2015 - Black | Merlin Cycles
The 36/52 combination is known as a semi-compact. The racer does not sacrifice the sprint gear but retains lower gears by virtue of low ring substantially below 39.
