Take a look at the 260+ comments to this thread and how may are users of the current offerings. The odd Chorus 12 speed comments but that’s about it, no one is clamouring to purchase the current Super Record or actively rides it. Look at the bikes presented at NAHBS and MADE the premier showcases for price no object dream bikes yet the presence of Campagnolo was almost nonexistent, ironically one was shown with a 80th anniversary group equipped which was released 13 years ago.
I am not anti Campagnolo but relying on and listening to their legacy customers has been their biggest issue, there is no money there. In the meantime, their major competitors were busy, looking forward, establishing strong connections with the major OEM partners and winning over new entrants to the sport. At the same time building excellent products at better prices.
