As to the DA crank w/ campy shifters, I've ridden Record for 15 yrs or more, and someone just gave me a modern DA bike (older Madone w/ newish DA stuff) and wow, is that crank stiff and direct. I never thought a small guy like me could benefit from a stiff crank, but it just feels right and efficient. Yeah, I know Campy makes something similar now, but its uber expensive and frankly not as elegantly simple. Still prefer the solid feel of Record shifters though.
