I presume the black crankset is anodized and therefore finish quality is robust but would like to here from somone that has one to see if the finish stays intact.
I am with you on wanting a UT Triple. I have expressed my opinion to Campy and the guy I spoke with agreed with me. He has been pushing corporate to come out with a UT Triple. He told me that Campy responds to the race market and racers don't use triples. However, I think they will eventually come out with a UT triple. It might just take a year or two.
