I used a mixed Record / Chorus alloy gruppo on my "last bike I'll buy" DiNucci. Its a fantastic built, smooth running and NOT all black. I had been saving that gruppo for a while.

I think you'll find that having the 110 BCD (compact) cranks in the mix will give you a much better "resale value".

I don't think the Chorus cranks came in an alloy, square taaper 110 BCD, they went to carbon that year. I have a set like that.

however there's no established market, really, it's just about finding a buyer who wants "exactly" what you are selling at that particular time. Eventually, yes, the "alloy" look may command a market premium.

you are probably money ahead by parting out your gruppo piece by piece.
