I have first generation 10 speed Record and another with 10 speed
upgrades to 9-speed Record (the rear derailleur is late 9 speed with
10-speed pulleys) and the mixed bike has the new 5.9 chain (which is
the quietest bike drivetrain I ever could imagine, I can hear the
tires singing on the pavement even at very low speeds).
My question is, with gear this good, are the components aside from the
obvious benefits of the UT Cranks (though even those are questionable
in terms of necessity, or I would choose the 2007 over previous for a
new application but I doubt I would ever "upgrade" the previous 10
speed gear, not a single component as far as I can tell).
This is not a criticism as Campagnolo can't be faulted for making gear
so good that you don't to throw out older gear!
It just leads me to wonder if the price differences (with previous
gear NOS selling for significant discounts) is it worth buying the new
gear while 2006 NOS is still widely available? Any anecdotal stories
of side-by-side comparisons would be interesting, from those who have
tried both.
