We could all moan and goad Campy to make them and they would hit the shops at $120 and then wouldn't be sold. Also, were campy to do this once it opens a precedent for us infantile collectors wanting Gran Sport hubs, derailleur pulleys and 44tooth 151bcd rings as well. Then there would be the complaints ..... not the right color, shape is different, my

hoods tore when I installed them. Then they would have to go through the whole process again in 15 years."
