I find this piece of Campagnolo history fascinating,,,

The Cobalto's were a stop gap replacement for the failed Delta protoypes, (which are off topic here.) But, there are Super Record (on topic)/ Cobalto boxes out there like this one, that has the Per Groupo C-Record sticker on them. http://www.flickr.com/photos/49353569@N00/3222249021/in/photostream/

Campagnolo was scrambling to fill the void.

PS, I believe Gabriel offers the more expensive "Emraldo" green upgrade kit for the Cobalto's also.
