Campy Record Quality Downgrade?

Has anyone else seen a downgrade in the latest Campy Record componentry? I was looking at a Record
Triple crankset at the weekend, and the chainrings were just crude looking rubbish - almost as bad
as Shimano
105. Same for the brake calipers - nowhere near as good as the older pair i have on my bike
currently.

Is this a one-off, or are Campy cutting back on finish quality? Are they in financial trouble?

I'm curious as to whether you actually got Record rings or not. I just installed a Record Triple
this weekend. The customer noted how thick and well-machined the rings are. Veloce triple rings are
similar to the 105 type - much thinner and with pressed rather than cut ramps.

Makes me wonder if he was looking at "Record Triple" or "Racing Triple" ...

Hmmmm, don't get it...where did you see it? Seconds? The stuff we install looks fine, hasn't changed
for years...

Naw, Racing Triple also has the nicer CNC'd rings.

I installed a Record triple for a friend about two months ago and found it to first rate Campagnolo
quality. It was amazingly light for a triple.

Let's hope not.
