Campagnolo is phasing out the Centaur. Just a warning if someone was planning to buy one as it is still rather available but will disappear.

Great groupset for classic build in silver.

Centaur in black is back for 2024, but not the Silver option.

Italians: always interested in style but usually about 10 years behind... everybody knows silver groups are cool again

Yes, and here is a comment of Nicola Baggio, head of marketing at Campagnolo

One thing Baggio shot down emphatically was the possibility of some sort of neo-retro mechanical groupset offering the latest shifting and braking performance, but with a more classically-styled polished aluminum finish.
“*As a company, we want to look forward. We have to consider trends in the bike market, which is not going in this direction. We don’t want to build heritage, niche products. That’s not the way; that’s not where we want to be. We want to be a premium brand driven by innovation. The heritage story is something that is clearly identified with Campagnolo, but our future is to look forward rather than behind.*”

I get the point of not being labelled as "Nostalgia Product", but first they are and yes they might very well miss a trend and a visibility that they miss currently!

I thought Campag had been discontinued about 10 years ago. ;-P

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
