upgrading my super six

[swampy1970]

Did you see the Campy pages above? If Campy does it, it's officially okay. Besides, cycling has extended far beyond Europe. If the cycling industry had only the Euro market to depend on, it would likely be only a shadow of what it is now.

They started using that one officially started a few years ago when they discovered that there's more Americans with a ton of free money to spend on bike kit that no longer offers the advantage it once did yet still commands a very premium price. I can honestly say that I've never heard it referred to as Campy in the UK, France, Belgium, Spain or any one of the Spanish islands I've ridden my bike on...

Jeezus H. Krist on a liquorcycle!

Only the looneytunes on this godforsaken backwater of cyberdreck would even fire two neurons over Campy's nicks.

Stateside my skinny white ass! When I was in yuroland almost 40 years ago, all I heard was "Campy". Now maybe the elite effete continentals used the yuro 'i' instead of 'y (or three 'E's and a couple of punctuation marks in France)'...who the frack knows or cares. Maybe it fell out of trendy fashion plate yuro sidewalk café jargon. All I can tell you is that it has been Campy for 42 years.

CampyOnly.com has been on line since 1995 with that website name and I guarandamntee you it was in use long before that.

Meh...youse guys probably ride that horrid shifting clunky SRAM stuff or the effeminate shimaNO gear that freezes up under Cuddles' after a little eyetalian snow. May you forever be cursed with Campy envy, inferiority complexes, stretched cables and socialist governments.

So...you say "black", I say "white"!

Time to throw queer dead Fred into the gay San Franciscan Friars, toss in a bunch of naked (that's "artsy" to you yuros) wimmenz, a little Brian May, some bike racing and fat-bottom girls equipped with Campy hair.

Note: Video not safe for work, children under the age of 40, small farm animals or those riding 105 or lower level components:



Admit it. You clicked 'Play'...didn't you?! Why, your preverted mind probably remembered to put it on hi-res!

"They started using that one officially started a few years ago when they discovered that there's more Americans with a ton of free money to spend..."

That's right! America! Hells yeah!

Surely that must mean something......oh, I know what it is: language and terminology evolve differently in different countries, cultures, and so on. I'm pretty sure that the UK, France, Belgium, Spain, or any of the Spanish islands have any authority in ratifying appropriate terminology outside their borders. When did you discuss the acceptance of "Campy" with the Campagnolo executives?

 

[CAMPYBOB]

"so you had to post three consecutive posts over the issue."

Yeah, and you had two non-consecutive posts. Neither of which made a bit of sense.


"how looneytunes of you, campy ([of a man] behave in an ostentatiously effeminate way.)bobbo."

WTF was THAT ****? Stick to your half-assed Latin, looneytunes. You couldn't construct an Engrish sentence to save your worthless libtard ass if your life depended on it.

Meh...like the loser tard you are, you're just [SIZE= 16px]Mad4Campy.[/SIZE]


CAMPY @ YouTube

Better go tell the folks at Campy they got the nick incorrect, tardboy.

I most say after 1065mi on my new bike i found the SRAM group to shift very well with no problems. So i think i will stick with my SRAM group. I think its safe to say SRAM is just as good as CAMPY and SHIMANO. But i most say the best investment that was made over all was the RETUEL FIT i had done. I am faster and more efficient on my bike love it.

FLORIDA!!!

Geez ...

• Notfornuttin', but considering how FLAT the State of Florida is, it really doesn't nor would-or-should matter whose components or which level of components you had equipped your bike with other than for the cosmetics (which can be, BTW, a valid reason for choosing this-or-that) ...

Glad your bike's components are finally sorted out to your satisfaction.

"Notfornuttin', but considering how [COLOR= rgb(255, 0, 0)]FLAT[/COLOR] the State of Florida is..."

Hey now! Those highway overpass climbs are cat 3!

Lookit this gradient, Alf! It's...brutal!



WTH? Youse guys never heard of the hors cat climb up Space Mountain?

Now...HERE'S some Floriduh hills!!!

 

[slovakguy]

no need to get hysterical, bobbo. it's not like someone stole your purse.

http://www.hetchins.org/campa-01.htm

"Campagnolo's racing credentials go back to the 1920s. Known variously as Campy (in the USA), Campag (in Great Britain), or Campa (in Germany and elsewhere)...."

 

[CAMPYBOB]

I never owned a Hetchins or their moronic vibrant stays or goofy Hellenic layouts, but I did purchase a W. F. Holdsworthy in London. It was custom made to measure for me and equipped with Campy components.

In my dealings with the company by mail and in person the words "Campag" or "Campa" were never uttered or typed.

It was Campagnolo or it was Campy.

I have no doubt certain types use the terms. Much like communists use the term "progressives" and "trade unionists".

Here's your English website link: http://www.[COLOR= rgb(255, 0, 0)]campy[/COLOR]oldy.co.uk/

They reside somewhere on that small island just off the continent of yuroland: 10 CULVERHAYES PLACE ° WIMBORNE ° DORSET ° BH21 1HA UNITED KINGDOM

[SIZE= 14px]Maybe you can google up a Campag only? Perhaps a Latin version the Romans once used? At any rate it's nice to see you keeping up your purse-swinging post count...even if it is non-consecutive.[/SIZE]

jeez, "campy" blobbo, such animosity directed towards one who merely pointed out that the rest of the world might not share your idiotic view that there is only one nickname employed for campagnolo, even if you hysterically assert that it has been what you say since time began.

feel free to rant on in sentence fragments and use lots of pictures since you seem to be ill-equipped to make a point with polysyllabic words. it's truly a shame you can't express yourself here as you do around your hovel with a series of pitch-changed grunts and frenetic gestures.

Sorry, no matches were found containing campag.


"it's truly a shame you can't express yourself here as you do around your hovel with a series of pitch-changed grunts and frenetic gestures."

Such animus! Such hypocrisy! Shame on you, sloveniandude! And my hovel is getting the decks pressure washed as we type.

Say...aren't you late to pick up your new issue of the Daily Worker?



Somewhere, in a parallel universe there's got to be a Campag/Campa Only. With enough tax dollars and union labor, perhaps someday it will be discovered.

 

[mpre53]

Using Campy also saves you the embarrassment of saying Cam-pag with a hard G.

The name is pronounced "com-pah-neyo-lo" /img/vbsmilies/smilies/biggrin.gif

 

[mpre53]

Still not as bad as the way I hear people butcher SRAM, though. It's more like "zram" than "shram".

Though I can remember when people called Shimano "Shimru". No idea where that one came from.

 

[hyperliterate]

How come I don't see a Cannondale Super Six Apex on their web site? It starts with Tiagra, then, 105, then, Rival, then, Ultegra, then EVO Red. Am I missing something here?

 

[CAMPYBOB]

"Am I missing something here?"

Just the 'Campy' equipped models! /img/vbsmilies/smilies/biggrin.gif

Nah, the Apex model might have been discontinued, the line up changed or sold only in designated markets.
I only see Tiagra, 105, Rival and Ultegra.

 

[CAMPYBOB]

"The name is pronounced "com-pah-neyo-lo"

"

In my small village, high in the mountains, where the tribal elders always spoke of the old ways back when a tilde was always used in the Transylvanian dialects of Asscrackistan's university edujumacated effete elite Big City Thinkers.

There, in the smoke filled opium dens, the scholars would recite Latin love poems and odes to Campy Gran Sport and Campy Valentino and Campy Cambio Corsa...with a West Virginia twang, of course.

That was long prior to the English buying Chinese Austin cabs, their use of toothpaste and refrigeration, of course.

Its not really about the components. it was more about the compact crank not working out for me. and swapping out the compact for the standard crank.

Only 2012 and earlier SUPER SIX came with APEX group. For 2013 they started out with TIAGRA. My 2012 SUPER SIX came with APEX group.
