I think she only favoured Shimano as it was easier to say repeatedly!

Try saying Campagnolo quickly 5 times in a thick Irish accent. Go on….

Don't be upset Ben, I love the hubs, chainsets, BB and headsets

No prob’s mate, - when you’re too old to ride you’ll appreciate the rest of their stuff

Only a fool would deny Campagnolos place in history mate. When I ran 50s and 60s bikes did I use Cyclo, Benelux, Simplex? No!! Gran Sport every time. The best mech of the period. They just ignored the advances the Japanese were making sadly.

I can’t argue with that. Passion, flair and tradition vs intelligent, savvy design. But I loved them for it.

Personal favourites: elegant Ibis Titanium and Cinelli ‘Milano’ -

​

The Cinelli model 1 road is really great looking stem. I was thinking about getting one with the riveted badge for a project but the price for those is just too much so I went with "Milano" stamped early version 1A . One steel stem I might have to get (my 60s DBS is missing its original cockpit) is the Titan Luxe but those have clamp diameter of 27.0mm so I would also have get the Maes-Kint handlebars...

I'm a sucker for a Pantographed stem (or pantographed anything really )
