New Groupset Options
I have an Eddie Merckx MXM with Campy record 10. The bottom bracket needs to be replaced. Can I upgrade to a new mechanical record or super record? I know Campy is expensive, but it may be significantly less than purchasing a whole new bike. And I really like the Campy Record shifting. What are my options?

Just replacing the bottom bracket will be significantly less than a new bike. If you like Record shifting then just keep it.

The answer to your question is: yes, if you can install record 10 you can install record 11 or 12. Your call about what's worth it.

If you have update fever, Velomine seems to have a lot of Campy stuff on sale.
