From a local bike forum here in Sydney:

I always think how beautiful Modolo Ofmega groupsets can be (especially Mistral)

ftfy, and I always think the spider arms on the Mistral chainset sweep the wrong way. It was obviously designed by a stylist, not an engineer.

^^ That's really lovely. I can't stop looking at it.

^^^^would have been so much better without the silly crankset.

Why on earth did I write Modolo?
Anyway, are you talking about the spider strength or its aero factor?

without the silly crankset.

Anyway, are you talking about the spider strength or its aero factor?

Strength. The driving torque tries to compress the chainring, so it will buckle. If you sweep the other way, the torque tries to expand the chainring, and it can handle tension much better. See also; disc rotors.

Makes sense, no wonder why the "Bartali" 4 arm version was produced for such a short time:

@Crash_Victim Is that readers?

Readers? I guess thats a person. No the bike is mine.

.... It's a lovely bike, but not cool to post one's own bikes on Bike Porn..

Readers?

There's a thread called Readers Wifes, which is the proper place to post your own bike apparently.

Sorry I wasn't aware if the decorum will post other bikes next time.

Worth embedding, Victory groupset deserves more love, not for being great in itself but for leading Campag out of the 30 rut of Record updates. The first modern Campag, in many ways.

too much money and not enough frame

I just realised HHSB thread is closed. Paging @TM
