I just bought a new Athena groups to go on the Master.Just who does buy italian frames and groups these days?
Anything else other than NOS Record would just be wrong.The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

Just who does buy italian frames and groups these days? I see fewer and fewer Italian frames and almost no Campag at most events and club rides these days - I'd love to see the numbers sold; but I guess Super Record is in tiny numbers to well-heeled freds only.
I often wonder the same... I don't do club rides these days, but I have never seen an EPS groupset in the flesh (i.e. out on the road)
Depends where you ride. Nobody in our club/group runs SRAM but five of us run Campagnolo groups from Athena to EPS (me ;-)).
Even in the days of lapping at Richmond Park I can't recall ever seeing an EPS groupset... there might be very few of them around indeedleft the forum March 20230 -

Me. I have a couple of Colnagos (C50 & C59) , and if I were buying again (i.e. C60) I'd likely use Record mechanical.
Over here (la France) they still really like campag and Wiliers are popular, infact Wilier seemed to be the most common bike at the Marmotte a couple of years ago.0 -

And I haven't seen a new Colnago for at least a couple of years. A friend who has a Master bought in the 80s suggested it was not well-finished (the chrome is not (was not?) well finished and there are a few little imperfections - which a certain (ex) South London builder would not have allowed, IMHO.
I'd guess that half my club run campag, 1 sram rest shimano. At least 6 colnagos. On today's run for example only 8 of us but 5 on campag0
