Campagnolo is now making compact cranksets in all its gruppi from Record down to Veloce. I'm looking to make this change from my current conventional 39-52 setup (aging legs could use the lower gears, I rarely ride sustained climbs that would make a triple necessary, and lots of fixed-gear riding has given me enough spinning ability to sacrifice something at the high end). With my budget, I'd like to get Veloce, which is plenty good enough quality for my needs. I can find online sources that carry Record, Chorus and Centaur. Anybody know of a seller that's carrying the Veloce compacts? Thanks

Now might not be the best time for a crank purchase. Campy will soon have all new cranks with the integrated BB design.

You might also consider a 13-29 cassette, although you should have a medium cage RD to use it. Veloce or Centaur cassettes are pretty cheap.

$77, delivered. Tough to beat.

You make a good point

I might just wait til next year, since I'm going to need a new BB soon as well.
