from a purely aesthetic standpoint Corsa Record and Croce d'Aune are my
favourite periods in campy history. The lines of the RDs, Cranksets and delta brakes
are pure italian style and class. In friction only mode they work well enough, it's only
when one ventures into syncroI and syncroII that the performance becomes a bit
muddied.
I'm particularly drawn to Croce for its quirkiness, gotta love the rod actuated
rear derailleur (which was yet another attempt to improve early campy indexing).

I find it interesting that with all the negative thoughts on Corsa and Croce in
terms of performance that they are both highly sought after gruppo's with prices
climbing on an almost daily basis.
