According to their website 2012 Oltre with Chorus, 56k and the 2012 Sempre with Chorus 36k.

 

Great ride the Sempre, I got one it's awesome. Also my first bike with Campag on and LOVE it. No hassles what so ever. :thumbup:

Just re-outfitted all my bikes with campag.

 

Running centaur 2011 Carbon on one and Veloce 2011 on the other. Best feel for ergo lever i have ever had, so so comfy.

Am a campag fan, but reckon my observations are shared by lovers and haters alike.

Is there a big difference between Veloce and Centaur? If heard that Veloce has a "spongier" feel to it when shifting. Is this true?

How dare you insult Campag in this manner!

 

I didn't want to step on anyone's toes, so tried to give a conservative comparison.

You can't compare Campy to Shimano !!!!

 

Shimano is for fishing !!

In the last 10 years Shimano has been on the bikes of 8 Tour de France winners. A 80% success rate is not bad for a fishng reel.

You sure about this ?

 

Isn't it SRAM ?

 

LA - SRAM

Contador - SRAM

Evans - don't know

Every one of Lances victories were on Dura Ace, and 1999 was the Japanese companies first TDF win. Contador added to that in 2007, Sastre in 2008. Evans was on Dura Ace, and Contadors 2009 and 2010 victories were on Sram. Before that, pretty much everything else was won with Campagnolo. With minor exceptions like LeMond in 1989 on Mavic.

Campag has the pedigree for sure!

Tour de Frances wins are a pretty useless stat for comparing groupsets. 31% of the losing riders at this year's Tour were also on Shimano, 41% were on SRAM and only 28% of the losers were riding Campag. Ergo, Shimano and SRAM are the groupsets of choice for Tour de France losers tongue.gif
