I like the looks of the old stuff better. This is lighter and I'm sure works very well but the old campy stuff was so beautiful.

They are going to continue to add more gears to the cassettes until you have to have an orange caution flag on the drive train side of your bike, but heaven forbid any rider of consequence put a third chainring on the front.
