I agree, and they shift as light and precise as any STI ever made.

The 7403 is the best all-around set I've ever used, but Those 8-speed Campy Records are so darn pretty.

Narrow BB spindle? I've only ever seen the crankset, and I think it used something like a 103-104mm....
Yeah, the 7410 takes the BB-7410, which I think is the first DA cartridge BB. 103mm. And I have one. Maybe not as glassy smooth as it was in the 1990s, but not bad. I had put the whole kit on a 1995 Litespeed Ultimate frame, making it the bike I LONGED FOR back in the 1990s, but in the end my legs are 25 years older and the local climbs didn't get any less steep, so I replaced the whole thing with R8000 Ultegra. I had thought about doing a mixed group, but in the end I decided against.
