Are Campagnolo components comparable in quality and dependability to Shimano? (I'm sure there's dicussion elsewhere on this, but I don't feel like sifting through threads) If so, I honestly would prefer an all-Italian bike. Afterall, Rome is my favorite city in the world (I could honestly live there), mortadella is my favorite deli meat, grappa is my favorite after-dinner drink, Breaking Away is one of my favorite childhood movies, and I love the Serie A league. Anyway, I just think components should be dependable, which leads me to Shimano. But if Campagnolo is comparable in price and quality, why not?
