Campy Veloce Compact crank for sale

Well, its been a couple weeks now and there has been absolutely no improvement on how my legs feel with this damn Veloce crankset. It's about a centimeter wider than the old crank and it just is not agreeing with my legs. I was comfortable in my races this weekend, but just could not generate power. I noticed this last year with new the cross bike. I swiped the crankset from that bike to put on this one and the phenom followed to this bike. It's got to be the cranks. I noticed this one time before when I used Dura-Ace on my GT bike. I'd noticed the same issues and in looking at the bike closer I'd noticed that the Dura-Ace was even wider than what the Veloce I'm using now is. I had exactly the same issues. I wasn't working hard, the breathing was normal, I felt ok, I just couldn't move the legs to crank out the really hard efforts. So, I'm putting this crank up for sale and getting another one. My FSA Gossamer crankset that I'd used on my old cross bike is going on the bike today. I'd had decent results with it a couple years ago so I think I'll give it a whack. I know I didn't have the power issues I had now when using it so it might be a fit on the road bike.
