If you are within the US no problem... Canada as well but try finding Campagnolo in Mexico or South America. Stuff like chains and cassettes which you need right away have to be bought some other country and go through customs. It´s silly.

Campagnolo aesthetics have always been extremely elegant; this iteration is instead absolutely atrocious.

The parts themselves have already grown on me and the fact that only the font bothers me is a good sign!

It looks like 'RECORO', Ha!

I find the super record crank just beautifull. It has a middle age saxon or viking inspiration while the carbon gives the futuristic vibe. The super record is different from record, right? I would not pay 1k for a crankset though... but that´s me.
I love the brake set.
The rear derr. looks too big but i never care much for rear derrailleur looks.
I have to say that since c record this is the best looking campagnolo ever. I always thought C record better looking than the 10v stuff. I like the brutal look of the C crankset and the new super record follows the theme.
Campagnolo is more and more gothic . I am all for that. The modernist functional from shimano and sram is not my thing.

High quality input here...I agree 100%

It should dispense the writting. C record had only the logo. It says "you should know what model this is and we are not gonna write it out loud for you."

LOL, so true!

I agree with all that.

But the font/size thing is really bad imo.

It should have no font and no model name.. it´s up to us to know which crankset is that. Throw the wrong name and you get slapped in the mouth!

Most definitely not.

No matter what, Campagnolo text has never approached that drivel....

In today's sea of murdered out black bikes, it fits I guess:

Super Record cranks are left hand threaded to keep you from using the Ti bolt in a steel record UT spindle. Cuz galvanic corrosion there would be really bad.

Ok, I like it now.
