Campag versus ShimaNO! or should that be Kerry V Bush?

[flyingdutch]

Dubbya gets kicked off a mtb. that means his allegience is to Shimano!

John Kerry, the (not so) great hope fora vague sense of semblence in the US presidential race this year is not only a cyclist and fitness nut but he rides Campag!

By typing ShimaNO, you already have expressed your opinion, haven't you? I hope your crank snaps tonight

Things like this as we see in other cases like Intel vs AMD, MAC vs PC, Holden vs Ford, top posting vs bottom posting... are all fun as long as I can find a fan from one camp whom I can tease by posing as a fan of the opposite camp. That's as far as I can go.

However, I carry a SHIMANO sticker on the rear windscreen of my car. If you have a nice-looking campy sticker for me, I'd put it side-by-side the Shimano.

In Hippy's style: me who's not biased and thinks the world is big enough for both campy and shimano.

Cheers,
