Instead of grinding through these various threads, I spent a little more time on one of my favorite blogs.

Talk about eye candy.

I don't understand obsessions.

Merely labels. People love to label stuff. Especially when they don't understand it.

I'm starting to lose sleep over these obsession threads! It's like I'm compelled beyond my control to read them. I wonder if I have a disorder of some kind?

As long as the obsession is original campagnolo then we are good. Carry on.
