You better get Record. That extra couple of ounces for Chorus will surely cost you the race.

Thanks for the hint. You too B. Jones (more for the reality check). For the parts I'm interested in:

front/rear deralleurs, brake/shift levers and brakes there is a 79 gram difference. I'M GOING RECORD!!!

hahaha

that's according to campy's website

Sorry...in a smartaleck mood today. No offense meant. Either group rocks though. I have Y2k Chorus and love it, but what's being put out today is just beautiful looking stuff. I don't think you can go wrong.

Not at all. I was being serious. Your comment was a reality check.

Unless having the most expensive group you can get makes you faster or have better endurance, get the Chorus group.

From my spreadsheet (I like to weight everything). Multiple numbers = multiple weighings

Chorus.
Shifters: 365, 368
FD: 89, 102
RD: 209, 202
BB: 220, 232, 220
BR: 340, 354
CAS: 220, 228
Crank: 667(Alloy), 610 (Alloy), 592 (Carbon)

Record
Shifters: 324
FD: 86, 84
RD: 186, 186
BB: 190
BR: 312, 312
CAS: 202
Crank: 574 (Carbon)

Chain and cables are of course, the same. Typically 250 for cables and 280 for the chain

ergo levers and RD. Everything else is Chorus. I also have an FSA mega exo crankset. My record stuff is from 03 so it is pretty much the same a Chorus now. Get the Chorus and get some cool, lightweight wheels with the money you saved. Saving weight that is bolted onto your frame is not as important as saving spinning weight. Within reason.
