Are they exactly the same component?
Differences?

Thank you

Daytona is evolutionary Athena. Some carries over, some is brand new (Hubs,
crank arms). Lighter but roughly comparable in performance.

<< Are they exactly the same component?

Starting from the front-
Athena ERGO levers ran on a cart bearing and had a carbon body
Daytona rides on a bushing and body is plastic(a relabeled Veloce lever)

Athena brake calipers were Chorus w/o a spring adjust and a cheaper barrel
adjuster.
Daytona are Veloce calipers with a Mirage cable holder and 1999 Record brake
blocks and holders

Athena headset was a Chorus w/o a polished upper race
No Daytona headset

Athena BB was a double cart BB, smooth and unique.
Daytona is a hollow axle BB version of Veloce

Athena and Daytona cranks are the same down to the name Campagnolo on the bolts

Athena front der didn't exist(gruppo used Chorus)
Daytona is a 1999 Veloce front der

Daytona Rear der is a 1999 Veloce rear der.

Big differece in the hubs
Athena were basically a 'no oil hole' version of Chorus but had a slightly
differnent freehub body and axle
Daytona hubs are Record with a plastic adjustment plate and steel pawl carrier

Athena cogsets didn't exist-were Chorus
Daytona are MK.1, not spidered together

what did I forget?
Essentially, for 2000, Veloce became Daytona, Mirage became Veloce and Mirage
is a bit different, a blend of Mirage and Avanti-which is gone-

Also look to the Daytona reviews featured in British magazine, Cycling Plus
(#100 (1/00) and #105 (5/00)). Everything is very positive (except the
pedals and cassette). The Campy Only review was rather positive as well.
