Video: Six of the best Campagnolo build bikes - Italian history and tradition
For many cyclists, there's nothing better than a road bike decked out with an Italian Campagnolo groupset. The company is steeped in heritage and race victories, and while it doesn't enjoy the same level of presence in the cycling market as its big rival Shimano, there are still plenty of new road bikes sold today with a Campagnolo groupset.
That many of those bikes are also Italian is no mere coincidence; there's the old saying that an Italian frame must have an Italian groupset, but only those who regularly spout the rules really adhere to it. Whatever your preference, one thing is clear, Campagnolo makes beautiful groupsets. And it's the first to market a 12-speed groupset for the road market. Take that Shimano!
So, without further ado, here are six road bikes that road.cc has tested all equipped with Campagnolo groupsets, from Potenza to Super Record. Tell us which is your fave in the comments section below.
David has worked on the road.cc tech team since July 2012. Previously he was editor of Bikemagic.com and before that staff writer at RCUK. He's a seasoned cyclist of all disciplines, from road to mountain biking, touring to cyclo-cross, he only wishes he had time to ride them all. He's mildly competitive, though he'll never admit it, and is a frequent road racer but is too lazy to do really well. He currently resides in the Cotswolds.
Some motorcyclists are treating the built up 30mph road where I live as part of the TT course. Utter madness, coming past my house at approxiamtely...
Not much consolation, but maybe a bit of ammo: the Ariegeoise sportive was cancelled this week. They have offered either a full refund, or allowing...
About the same as a ten-mile walk and not breaking any rules, what's the problem?
Yes, totally serious. And when I looked at the bid history there were three bidders right in the running up unti labout $250. Better get them listed!
That was assez facile and I'm not even French, moi.
As with anything using double sided tape in less than ideal environments, it'll eventually separate. At least it's easy to locate more 3M tape.
At Tiagra level and below they never went anywhere, there's a 50-39-30 Tiagra triple available.

I mean, it's not as though they are in 1500 kg of metal and stuff, and which never does any damage to anyone or anything on the outside....
It's different this time....
