Au contraire my friends. The holiest sanctuary of bicycle racing is in Italy, not Japan. Seriously, I've had bikes with Japanese components and those with Italian components and each has it's virtues and faults. However, given what I prefer from a functional standpoint, it's Campy for me. (BTW, my Look has Campy Record on it.)

Andy, Andy, Andy...the ideal racing bike color is red. I am already trying to figure out how to justify a custom paint job on the frame.
