yeah haha 2004 chorus would likely work but deserves to be with other campy parts. if you've got one lying around why not get veloce to go with? If you're set on shimano, the old 105 and 600 cranks are similar aesthetically to chorus. sugino xd cranks would look nice as well!

Thank you both for taking the time to post your thoughts and recommendations. Campagnolo peaks my curiosity, but I guess it is "the cool" of an italian company (producing in romania) that does this to me - similar to the endless apple/mac vs pc argument.
My head says I should stay with the 105 - so I'll try that route.Returning to the crank topic: I also thought about a DuraAce 7400 crankset, but looking at the readily available new options Sugino looks alright. I already have a Sugino crank on my Pelago Stavanger running nicely with a 105, BUT there is a slight (but noticable) wobble in the large chainring... not sure if that speaks for the quality.

I think the 105 crank in black looks okay. But since my current project is a red/yellow steel frame, I want to use all silver rims/stem/handlebars/seatpost, so a black group would look out of place, I think. Silver seems like the way to go. Budget wise Campag Veloce and Shimano 105 are okay for me, but the cranks of both makers look rather hideous to me. I adore the more delicate look of the older campag cranks.
So I guess the question is: Is a 2004 Campag Chorus Crank compatible with a 5800 group? Yes, I know, sacrilege!
