De Rosa Pantograph question
I'm finally going to start updating a purple 1989 De Rosa Professional SLX that I purchased for my girlfriend a few months back. I'll be shooting for full campy super record with as much pantograph as possible. With that said, I've been eyeing this on ebay https://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...#ht_499wt_1183
Would this 70's crankset be out of place on a 1989 bike? Should I wait for something better? (I'm embarrassed to ask, but) Is this super record? De Rosa pantographed cranks pop up periodically and I can be patient, but my girlfriend really liked the design on this set.
Thanks for helping out a newbie!

If you're trying to be historically accurate, a 1989 would have had something like Chorus or C-Record and panto was a lot less common by then. Personally, I'd do it however you want and not worry about accuracy...a panto group would certainly look cool. Most of the riders I knew in that time period were running Dura Ace over Campy anyway.
My understanding of Super Record and Nuovo Record is that the cranks were identical, the only difference were the chain rings...and the ones on Ebay are Super Record.
