Really??!!! Geez, the things you learn on the Internet. It must be true.

I also learned, this time not on the Internet, that some Campy things can break. While riding my Davidson today in Prospect Park, I was with a friend that was riding my Zilioli with the Campy SL pedals. He wasn't in shape, so he was behind me. When I got to the small hill I figured I would go into a big gear and stand and mash. Some guy goes past me so I decide to turn it up a bit. About 10 strokes in I hear a crack and it was the front derailleur, a Campy NR from the early 80s, and the clamp just cracked. The chain wasn't even rubbing. I've been riding this bike for 28 years with that derailleur. I guess some things just give up after a while.
