So what was wrong with Supercronos? I have seen them only in photos, as they appeared not long before Zeus stopped marketing in the US. I have quite a bit of Zeus Crtierium/2000 stuff, which I rate the equal of Campy NR/SR and also a recently acquired Zeus Cosmos gruppo, which strikes me as similar to C-Record, as both are good quality but slightly timid attempts by European manufacturers to catch up with Japanese innovations. Was Supercronos much lower in quality? In what way?
