A Campagnolo Ultra Comp Crankset...

Merlin have them on sale for $195 or so, new in box.
Which at first sight is a great deal if you're looking to build up a 2013-ish super record-ish groupset.

HOWEVER.

They neglect to mention that Campy made them for one year only (According to the guy I spoke to at Campagnolo NA) and completely forgot or neglected to market them. (Another possible reason for them not selling well is that they named the technology 'Over-Torque' which is not exactly auspicious)
They also stopped making the tools for them same year, which are now impossible to find online. Except for one store in NZ who I'm hoping still have one left and it's not a stock error, and a single amazon seller who doesn't ship outside of Italy, and wants 250 Euro for it..

So far I've found one store in NYC that has the tools required to install the crankset, Conrad's so fingers are currently crossed, hoping the tool doesn't mysteriously vanish or break.
