I really love my Campy experience.

If only, if only they could get their US distribution more rational. I feel like a jerk buying cassettes and chains on line from Great Britain and last time I replaced cables, it was not with a Campy set - they were just silly expensive.

As a rule, I am willing to pay a small premium to purchase components locally, but I've been told point blank on different occasions at different shops, "You can buy a cassette on line for less than my cost. That's what I would do if I were you." I'm sure that someone in the industry could explain the US distribution strategy to me.
