I recently picked up a silver 11 speed silver Campagnolo Centaur group set so here's the question...

The group came with the very industrial Paul like crankset, if it was your bike would your replace the reasonably svelte square taper WI VBC cranks the fatter armed industrial Centaur cranks?


I would posit that the White is the industrial looking one, a good thing and the Centaur is just plain fugly so....

Maybe find an earlier Centaur 5 arm, see if it will work and try both?
