After yesterday's really fun ride on the Litespeed with the newly re-tuned Frankengruppo, I realize that since I'm not going to be riding outside before all the bits are in place to rebuild it with the Dura Ace kit, the next obvious step is to strip it down. Which seems a shame, since I spent a not inconsiderable amount of time getting it looking good and working well.
But, guys.....

I mean, the 7410 crank is The Most Beautiful Crankset Ever, so how can I not?

As far as most beautiful, C-Record is elegant, but there's something about the Ofmega Mistral that just does it for me in a way no other crank ever will:

Especially the pista variety

Had an awesome, rainy/snowy ride today. Finished clearing the driveway, had some lunch and hit the road.
Really tried to work hard and Intervals says my new FTP is 291 watts. 3.77 W/kg
Averaged 254 for a whopping 17.5 mph on the fat gravel tires.

De gustibus non est disputandum.
Personally, in Campagnolo, I prefer the late 90s/early 00s Record and Chorus.
