Personally, I prefer Zeus 2000 to Campy SR. IIRC, 2000 pedal plates were actually Ti, no anodizing to rub off. No silly experiment with a nutted BB axle. No ill fated poorly designed Ti axle hub. And I don't think 2000 components and the corresponding steel Criterium gruppo used different bearing sizes. Overall Zeus made much more intelligent use of titanium. Smaller bolt circle gave a wider choice of rings - now if they'd only made it 2 mm bigger, so the rings would interchange with Stronglight.

Superleggeri pedals and perhaps a dozen or so pair of SR. I've never *notic ed *any difference in the finish of the pedal bodies between the two. I've never seen *any* Campagnolo pedals that have had the mold parting lines ground and polished off like the example in the cited auction. I always found that fact a little disappointing given the generally excellent finish

on those gruppos.
