any cyclists/roadies?

My wife decided to go with the Campangolo. We just opened the first box of components she ordered yesterday, the stuff looks amazing! The quality and craftsmanship is jaw dropping. I'm tring to talk her into some macro shots before we start putting on the components.

I just got an 80th aniversary group and wheel set. Beautiful doesn't come close. I have not decided what frame to put it on yet...

Wow, I'd put on a DeRosa, Pegoretti, Casati, or Cinelli... What are rims for the grouppo? Something Italian that is actually made in Italy.

Leaning heavily towards a Raleigh Revineo frame. I work for Raleigh America, so it seems like the right thing to do. My stable is full of Italian steel and several steel customs. All equipped with Campagnolo of some kind or other. So added some carbon fiber to the diet is in order.
The wheels for the 80th group are either all carbon Bora or the same with an aluminum brake track. I got the later.

Oh, wow, you work for Raleigh! How cool. How about a Raleigh done up in the red-yellow-black like in the early 80's like Roy Knickman and had? Not done in 753 Reynolds, but done in a lugged carbon bonded style. Same old decals, but modern construction.

Which grouppo did she buy? Good for her and welcome to the Campy family.

Chorus. Still pretty new at this game, but so far a fun project.

Edit, here is a shot of the rear derailure box.

Wow, she's going first class! Chorus is great stuff and she'll get a decade plus out of no problem. Is she getting Campy wheels? I love them; very strong and reliable. I am 200 lbs and I haven't really ever had to true my Sirocco's and Zonda G3 2-Way's seem just as strong. I am digging tubeless tires.

Thanks for the vote of confidence on the component group, we don't know that much about road bikes, she decided that she would learn about them by building one! I'm not sure if she has picked out a wheel set yet, I'll share your suggestion with her though.
