Read my lips: I was riding D.A. before the college kids here were out of the friggin womb. I'll go over to Campy when the Cubs win the World Series, and G.W. Bush is voted Best President Ever by the Democratic National Committee.

Hi,
Some of us say we're going to get a Cervelo with a gruppo that may or may not be widely available. Me, I recently made the appropriate mouse clicks to get one of these:
and some of these:
Purchase inspired by Dr. Chen and Ms. DeLuca and I didn't need to make a stinkin' deposit.
I'll post some photos when I put it together. I'll be wearing normal, old guy, shop clothes when I put it together.

From: Just this side of insanity.
Bikes: Too many
I took 20 years between bikes with Campy stuff on it. My last Campy bike was a Pogliaghi with Nuovo Record, but I just built an Alan with Campy Record 10. I also have an E5 Allez with 9 speed DA.
After about 500 miles, the campy stuff is OK but not exactly blowing my mind in terms of how well it works. Shifts are precise enough and all, but the shifters actually feel less "substantial" than the DA shifters. The little mouse ear thingy seems like it is pretty delicate.
On the other hand, it is remarkably light compared to DA, and if it matters, I like the aesthetic of the Record group better than the DA group. Right now, I'm still happy with the choice, but I don't think I would have been unhappy mechanically with DA 7800 or waiting for 7900 either.
