Of course not; it regressed to difficult to set and not so good to shift 11sp campagnolo groupsets. Not to mention external BB and contaminated bearings. Time waits for no one.

My Atlanta will always stay 2002 silver Chorus, My zank CX ( my favorite bike) will eventually get upgraded from the Centaur 2009 ultrashift to a CHorus 11 group which I scored here. I'm only really upgrading for the cassette options as I need lower gears as I age for some reason. When my 2002 Chorus is adjusted It shifts better than my 2015 Record I think. Now I am curious to try 12 speed but it's just way too expensive.

"If the goal is to not feel like a hoarder/over-consumer, then don't rationalize the acquisition of something else by getting rid of something. Just get rid of what you don't use and keep/get what you enjoy using."
This resonates Thanks! |

IMHO, the "9 speed era" parts at the top of the Campagnolo range (and Shimano for that matter) were the best parts ever produced when gear selection, function, durability, aesthetics and serviceability are all considered. The 10 speed era parts are very close and replacement parts are more readily available. Save for some vintage bikes, all of mine are Campy 9 or 10 speed. I have never found a reason to move beyond as most of my riding around here occurs in flat to rolling terrain. When I take a trip to hillier terrain, I still feel the luxury of having more gears almost by a factor of two compared to the days when I did some of my best and fastest riding. I can use a 10 speed 39x29 with a simple cassette change and chain length check...that's a 35 inch gear. Unless somebody erects a brick wall across the road, I reckon that will allow me to get over most anything and I still remember how to stand and pedal if needed.

No I haven't I'd need a new RD I think as I just have a short cage. In some ways have two 11 speed bikes will be better as I can swap wheels back and forth etc, plus I may eventually get a new zank etc.

I couldn't disagree more with this assessment. But ride what you want to ride.

This is objectively untrue. Hootie and the Blowfish's landmark album Cracked Rear View -- the greatest album ever recorded -- was released in 1994.

Though much like Campy, they've continued to innovate, maybe hitting a high point with OK Computer (the Record 10 of albums) and holding just below that right up through Moon Shaped Pool (SR 12 Mech), hitting some polarizing changes in between... Thom Yorke's solo albums are EPS - good, but not as perfect as the original lineup.
