My 1989 Campagnolo Chorus groupset were shit in comparison to my 2010 Centaur groupset on the same bike despite Chorus being superior to Centaur in term of line-up.
it's also a lots lighter - Chorus 8 speeds with Campag hubs and Ambrosio rims - 1800g, whether a modern Centaur 10 speeds with cheap Amborsio hubs and Mavic Open Pro - 1400g.
Having said that, some old component still work perfectly well and still stand the test of time in comparison to modern day alternative.
