As for Canadians, well, it's a small inside joke.

I have to laugh at the reverence given NJS. While most of it is very high quality, other mfgrs can, and have made parts just a good. I have a vintage Colnago with Campy Super Record, and some fresh face kid gave me grief because it didn't have NJS! He showed up at the track and I beat him equally well with the Colnago, and my custom NJS 3Rensho. By the way, both are almost 20 years old with original components. Good stuff lasts if taken care off.

My wife has both a custom Griffen with Campy, and a Surly Steamroller without NJS, and she could take most of the posers on this list with either. I doubt she, or I, for that matter can break the non-NJS stuff, because it is not crap. If you buy crap, then the crap will bite you. It's still the motor that matters.
