Super record 12 on a master
Moderator: robbosmans
Personally, I think the 11 speed crankset looks much better compared to the 12 speed version. If one were building a new bike then I can see buying the latest and greatest 12 speed groupset but personally I couldn't see spending almost $3K to "upgrade" to 12 speed especially with only two cassettes available that add little utility (actually zero for me).

Looks absolutely ace. Can’t wait to give my 12s record a test ride. As soon as this damn flu will leave this old body of mine..

If you want a modern group with old school bling there is a guy in the UK doing some impressive work.

I like retro/modern cross-overs. I like seeing bike being upgraded loved and ridden, rather than held as museum pieces (although that is okay too if that is your thing), so I have no problem seeing modern pieces mixed in.
From an aesthetic standpoint I do think a five arm skinnier crank have better proportions with a skinny steel tube frame, but I have no problem with black carbon pieces. However, once getting used to the thicker modern crank, it's fine , it looks cool. These steel frames perform and ride really nice with modern lightweight components. I have a Colnago Master myself, not as bling as yours, but still with somewhat modern carbon components.
