So awesome! Do they weigh less than the vintage Shamals?

Campy
Just an introduction, I am 64 and have lived a wild and crazy life.
In 1977, at the ripe old age of 25 I bought a Ferrari 308gtb/4. It was awesome in the era of smog limited cars and a blast to drive. I also bought a '78 308GTB. And then, after going to the historic car races at Laguna Seca, I bought a '64 250GT Berlinetta Lusso. I was a crazy, young, confident kid who was always fascinated with cars. Anyway, the reason this subject resonates with me is that the wheels on my 308's had Campagnolo stamped on them. My Berlinetta Lusso was a different story. It had " Borrani Wire Wheels". They were very special, wire wheels with aluminum rims that had to to be polished fom time to time. Today, at my mature age, I have an Audi A7 and a '15 MINI Cooper S. Times have changed but I still love great cars. The MINI is as fast as the old V-12 Ferrari from '64 and uses less than half the fuel. While I could afford some crazy,fast car, I really appreciate the efficiency and handling of the cooper, ( kind of like the old Colin Chapman race cars ).

Before the Dark Days at Campagnolo, when Valentino decided to do bike stuff and think C-Record friction would still be preferred by true bike enthusiast's....Campagnolo did a lot of mostly magnesium casting. Wheels but also a lot of aircraft mag casting for things like main landing gear assemblies.
After the mid-late 80s mess, Campagnolo sold off everything but the bike stuff manufacturing, figured out ERGO, dumped MTB stuff(hooray) and the rest, as they say, is history. A rather large french firm tried to buy Campagnolo, but thankfully, that didn't happen.

1974 Campagnolo Wheels
Quote:
The guy has some crazy exotics and lives on the route I run my dog. Really nice guy. I looked at the wheels - never saw that before. I showed him the centaur skeletons on my belt drive SS and we both had a nice chuckle. I saw him yesterday and asked about another car that evidently rotates between his garage and storage. He said he wanted to show me something new. And there was the AR Montreal. I had no idea what it was since not a AR enthusiast but could tell the lines were early 70s similar to Pantera. Etc. It's a fun conversation in a car world that is so far away from my reality. Auction estimate $150-200... You just never know what is in someone's garage around here. One guy had a $500k super rare Mustang - forget which. Crazy stuff.
