    What Happened to Campagnolo?

    Campagnolo was something significant in the 60's70's80's early90's but not anymore. Maybe bankruptcy is the way to go if they are not selling their fancy equipment to many high end bike brands. A lot of shifting and braking technologies were introduced by Shimano with Dura Ace and Dura Ace...

    What Happened to Campagnolo?

    Fact is that Shimano is still the dominating brand on the road bike and mountain bike markets since the mid 80's . Campagnolo went to dominant once in the pro peloton to insignificant, and their market shares have become ridiculous. Let's not forget that Mollema had problem with SRAM, I don't...

    new arrival, 1999 cannondale caad4 back up frame

    I like US made Cannondales only, made in China or Taiwan Cannondales aren't of my interest and welds on them are ugly furthermore to that craftsmanship in the USA was far superior to the one in Asia.

    new arrival, 1999 cannondale caad4 back up frame

    Very nice Cannondale bike. 👌 👍 Mine will have the 3T Mutant Ahead set stem and 3T Mutant bar , a Cane Creek Headset, a FSA ISIS Carbon Crank, Mavic Cosmic Carbone SSC Wheels and will be full Dura Ace 7800. Thinking of a Flite evolution saddle on it.

    Campagnolo wheels

    contact your local campagnolo distributor. But campy spare parts in general are overexpensive and hard to find. Spare parts for Mavic and Zipp wheels are way easier to find
