Not modern yes , but entirely made in Italy with the highest degree of craftsmanship and campy record tranmission explain the heavy pricetag. C40 and C35 are much more desirable and collectible than some other carbon made frames. The frames were used successfully bei the Mapei team with Johan Museeuw back then.
