This broke the fascination with Campy for a number of people. Some have never come back.

Either way, I am a die-hard Campy fan that WILL get my hands on an 11 speed group before the "Brev Inter"" is gone!

I think C-record was the best of the old world groups. An aero version of Super Record. Then came the crazy stuff: Cobalto brakes, Syncro, Syncro II, EGR peddles, mountain groups. The catalogs & boxes were cool! The design team evidently spent more time on graphics & icons than the actual components. I would love to have an icon poster!

Love all my Campy equiped bikes. Doesn't really matter to me who owns them as long they continue to make quality parts at prices I can't afford.

Maybe it's Dorel. Coming soon, Campy equipped Wal*Mart bikes.

Maybe it's Columbus, so they can put Campy on all the brands they own at a bargain rate?

Like out current Star Trekkies, Campy freaks will gather in honor every year & speak of how the advanced technology Campy introduced, in all it's greatness, has yet to be realized by the great unwashed.

I only have experience with Suntour (some of which seems quite nice) and Shimano (where you have to get up to like 105 before it's worth using). What are the current selling points of Campy over Shimano, other than being a pseudoeuropean dork?

In 2019 I can picture a conference room full of gray haired men learning step by step how to re-build their worn out shifters with bootleg parts. I will probably be one of them..

As long as the thumb button and the campy spline is still there, I'm ok. Otherwise, I have to buy a whole bunch of cassettes and cassette bodies!

This conversation is even more ridiculous than I thought it might be. All of these puerile ***********y fantasies about how you can't wait to make fun of the Campy riders is really disturbing, not to mention pathetic and whiny.
