It may have been black and in their lower part of the line up, e.g., Centaur, Veloce, Mirage, but its there. Further, its great that they now have metal cranks in Silver! There was a couple of years, where all of the cranks, carbon or metal, were black. By 2009 or so that changed. Finally, for those who are concerned about "Q-factor," Campy has traditionally had low q-factors. Even with the move to the latest "integrated" cranksets, Campy's "q" is among the lowest on the market. Good Luck!
