Campagnolo open ‘virtual museum’ + video
Italy’s Campagnolo have introduced a new ‘virtual museum’, detailing the brand’s history and contribution to cycling over the past 80 years. It’s a website that’s designed to give cycling enthusiasts a view into the world of Campagnolo dating back to the 1930s.
The site allows you to browse through Campagnolo history decade by decade – and if there’s one brand that has a whole lot of heritage, it’s Campag. It’s interesting stuff that’s backed up with some great archive photography, including pictures of Campag’s classic Gran Sport, Record and Super Record components, along with images of legendary riders.
BEHIND THE SCENES 80th ANNIVERSARY COLLECTION from Campagnolo Srl on Vimeo.
You can also check out fans’ Campag-related pictures and stories, and login to share your own.
The commercial aspect of this, aside from promoting the brand generally, is that Campagnolo have released an 80th Anniversary Collection that they’d like you to consider. Go to our previous story for all the details on that. Just a word of warning: this Super Record groupset will set you back £2,599.
The video (above) shows a behind the scenes build-up of the 80th Anniversary Collection on a special hand-built, custom titanium frame.
Find the virtual museum at http://anniversary.campagnolo.com.

For double that you can' get a Pedro's vise whip Ii. Or half, the reportedly excellent decathlon thingy. And Sigma has the Silca for only £150.

Who did the photography on the Groupset???
There is something that looks like a rub on the inside of the cranks and dirt everywhere!
Campagnolo should be ashamed of themselves. If they want someone to control their advertising then drop me a line.
Jeez, that's p!ss-poor!!!
If Jesus were to ride, it would be on something laden with c record....hubanahubanah
All that is beauty, is Italian.
Super lovely. Those hubs are particularly tasty. Just out of interest, which of the myriad BB standards is the one in the video?
Oh hurrah (sarcasm)! The hideous 80th Anniversary grouppo.
I agree. It would be polished silver if it was any good. Come on Campag, you can do better than this.
100% hardcode bike pr0n filth.
I love it.
