Credit due to Mr Smiff for sending me through a link to a rather nice looking Eddy Merckx on fleabay. Seeing the close ups of the pristine 8 speed Record groupset does make me think Campagnolo kind of lost their way a bit with all the carbon stuff- those old chainsets actually look much nicer. And don't even get me started on skeleton brakes and the 'new' quick releases...

Ed,
ReplyDeleteI must show you then the bike which I used until mid of last year: a 1992 Campy Chorus model (8 speed)... all polished Alu..
it looks exactly like the one in the pic...
Or maybe my old XC bike (steel, Campy Record late 80s)
Nice- would love to have a look. Bring it on the MAD100 next time!
