That poll on Cycling Forums really surprises me.
(look what it's reduced to, now that Hiticy's not here)
Shimano is more user friendly, that's fo shizzo. (Maybe less so with the new 10v, though...)
Home maintenance and spare parts have always been cheaper. Plus the $$$ for Campag isn't really justifiable in terms of a performance benefit. If I was paying my own way through a Euro campaign, Shimano all the way.
I'll have to check out the poll....some of those seppos get so fired up it's hilarious.
(yep.....sad days indeed. We'll have to make up for the loss of quality with much more quantity.)
