I paid $50 for the RD, $70 for the Crankset (nos) and $25 for the RD. Bring on the hills this Spring. KB
The relative affordability is definitely one of the things I love about Campy triples from this period. For my Sequoia I was going with a purely functional build. I just wanted something with a square taper triple of decent quality at a good price. I ended up with this for $80.
That was my second Racing T crank and really cemented my affection for this crank. Earlier this year when I was looking for parts for my Stella restoration I stumbled on NOS Comp Triple crankset and derailleurs (from three different sellers) for about $150 total.
BTW, @
kcblair, what do you think of the King Cargo bottle cage? How much does it hold?
