"Campy" Hip Replacement?
 
If bicycle and component manufacturers made replacement body parts, what would they be, and what would be their characteristics?

Titanium builders would be making a whole lot more profit.

In bike speak, a knee replacement would be equivalent to a tube replacement in a lugged frame (steel, or otherwise).

A hip replacement would be a bottom bracket shell replacement.

I have stock in a joint manufacturer, Zimmer Holdings, so request one of those, please. :D

My mother broke her hip and the doc came out to take to me at the ER and explained the procedure to me. When he was done, I told him that i hoped he was using a Zimmer joint. He said that in matter of fact he was and wanted to know why. I explained that i had stock in the company and he just laughed. :lol:

This is all steel.

Looks like you have a screw lose as well. No pun intended.

Joke back in the day was, I gotta get some of those Campy quads upgrades!

Since Home Depot was closed, and I really needed my hip fixed, I suggested they use the Ti bolts holding my water bottle cages on.
