 You've heard them. They call us pasta
heads. Pizza boys.
Retro-grouches. Component snobs.
They sneer at our beautiful Campagnolo equipment.
"ShimaNO works better," they tell us
(even as they enviously eye the hand-polished shine on
our cranksets). They are the flocks of ShimaNO
sheep, foolishly riding bikes equipped with
stuff made by a company that made its name making fishing
reels, of all things. Fishing reels!?
Is that the kind of tradition you want behind
your components? Of course not.
That's why you're here, and that's why we're here. You're the kind of rider who likes to know
that there really was a Tullio
Campagnolo. You like knowing that he really did
have to drop out of a race when his old-fashioned wheel
wingnuts froze up, prompting him to invent the modern
quick-release. (That's Tullio's son, Valentino, in the
photo. Can't you just see the vision in
those eyes! His father taught him well!)
We are the only site on the Web devoted to pointing
out the many, many, many ways in which our Campy
stuff rides circles around all others.
The p urpose of this page is to celebrate Campagnolo
and to point up the many, many ways in which the
stuff produced by those lovable Italian guys is soooooo
much better than the much-too-popular junk flowing out of
Japan! We hope you enjoy our page, and as they say in
Italy,
Amici, non consigliate agli amici
di scegliere ShimaNO!
(Friends don't let friends ride ShimaNO!)
