Hmm, i must've missed a generation of canti's as these look like the new style ones like pauls and ird (which i guess are copies of older versions), funny how this stuff comes back around. i'm not sure it looks all that campy, if you scrubbed the logos--which i hope you can, they would look like

I thought all the Campy stuff was made in Italy by old world craftsman. ;~)Or maybe, these days, automated machines. I think they made these because a lot of pro Cross racers prefer the Ergoshifters and they wanted to have a full cross race gruopo. I'm just happy they have decided to build

That Comp cranket is still square taper ( ISO of course) which suprises me. Perhaps a nod to us retro Riv types? For me the Shimergo combo of 10 speed shifters and 8 speed shimaNo splined cassettes is the best of both worlds as the max Campy cassette cog is 29T. ~Mike On Mar 18, 9:39 am,

I was headed out for a ride today, when I discovered the 105 hubs I was using needed some serious attention. Long before I was finished I came to the conclusion that adjusting these hubs was way harder than the '80 vintage Campys I used for 25 years, and way harder than the Whites I built up two

They certainly look like a good design, and if you want to use Campy levers it's probably a good choice. My experience suggests that Shimano brifters do not work well with cantis, even Shimano cantis. But I owe my life to Paul, so I'll be sticking to my neos, as well as they stick to my rims.

Certainly look lighter than the early 90's Campy wide profile cantis, http://www.cyclofiend.com/cc/2010/cc797-gernothuber0510.html but man have the aesthetics taken a hit, esp. with those awful logos (which presumably can be removed). I love my old Campy cantis, but I am buying Tektro 720s these
