Classy choices. This is for my soon-to-be-ordered Nagasawa. I'm torn between good modern parts or great vintage components. My thought to go modern was to maintain a slightly more humble attitude (if that is at all possible with a Nagasawa!)

I'll try to add a vintage option.

Yes, I understand. I've been with Campy a looong time. It just seems as if this Nagasawa would be best equiped with mostly Japanese parts.

Didn't all of the Campy Pista cranks come with the shield, save for the current model?

Not sure about that, but C-Record was the last gruppo that had their highest level of polish.

Bikes: Road and Fix, Tutto Campagnolo, certo!

The more times the word "Campagnolo" appears on your bike, the faster it goes.

Really.

I wouldn't make this sort of stuff up.

If you see any c-record pista cranks laying around and get the compulsion to huck 'em in the river, post them to me and I'll buy ya a beer next time you're in San Fran.
