Some of the Kelly-era Mavic even LOOKED cool, too. Had a neat clunky look as I
recall. Room for both looks back then. Elegant CC or machinelike Mavic. Today
just offers a bland robo-look. Unless folks have some cool group looks to
suggest? --How to make STI levers that don't look frontheavy, for instance.

Indeed, Campy C-Record WAS king but the Mavic stuff was better designed,
lighter, had less rolling resistance and probably cost less. LeMond won the
'89 and '90 Tour on Mavic. I still have a set of Mavic hubs that roll easier
than any other wheelset I have.
