Campy Super Record



From BikeRumor:
While the attention seems to be paid mostly to the fact that there’s now an extra cog on the cassette, my opinion is the bulk of the technology and ergonomic efforts went into the shifters. Resting your hands on them is exceedingly comfortable and positioning is intuitive and relaxed. The new brake levers have a repositioned pivot and dual curves to make them easier to operate from both the hoods and the drops. The rubber used on the hoods is softer where your palms are, and firmer where your fingers grip. Additionally, they curve inward slightly, making them more tailored to a natural hand position than previous generations.
Drool over these close-up pics of the Eighth Wonder of the World. Apparently, some stores are getting early sets and building bikes with them (but not selling them).
