Hendrik Petoors Posted June 28, 2007 Share Campagnola (cork) screw Designed in 1966, this is more than just a standard corkscrew. It's become a design icon in the cycling world and more than that it actually works well using a patented body that ensures the tool is always central to cork. The long arms lever out even the tightest of corks and the body further acts as a cork grip to allow the cork to be removed from the tool very easily. These technical features and the use of the finest raw materials have made this corkscrew a must, a symbol of genius that is recognised throughout the world handmade by old omies with hacksaws and files high in the Italian Alps. Would have been nice to have but they spoilt the whole thing by using kempekkernoglia chainring screws to hold it together. Now it is not only ugly but also not dependable!!!!! It comes packed in a beautifull handmade oak box and packed in straw to protect it from being squashed in transit because it is made from the same pewter alloy they make the groupsets from.

Hendrik Petoors Posted June 28, 2007 Share Yes but you would need a bag of chainring bolts to replace those that break?????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racman Posted June 28, 2007 Share Remember there is a difference between campagnolA and campagnolO ! CampagnolA is a French champagne producer and CampagnolO is an Italian groupset manufacturer. From HP's spelling it makes sense that it is the former.racman2007-06-28 11:38:33 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racman Posted June 29, 2007 Share Mmmm - wonder if they make a Fox Shock version of the toilet roll holder.... Now you got me thinking.... What about using an Easton EC70 fork with a Titanium and Carbon wheel skewer. I also thought of using a STI or Ergo lever for the flush mechanism ...
