You will NEVER see an auction like this for campy brifters!

If this doesn't convince you nothing will ;) ;) ;)

Buy them Too Tall!

Is that because the equivalent picture for Campy would represent an entire year's production run?

[Ken Robb]

I'm pretty sure I've seen this guy at swap meets in San Diego. If he gets a bid I'll be amazed.

[Johny]

I believe most of them are actually fixable. Just need some clean-up. No taking-apart needed.

P.S. I fixed my Ultegra and LX shifters.

[The Spider]

The bin....the only suitable place for Shimano!

but I am a gentleman so will say...

interesting picture :)

[Jeff N.]

Since Shimano outsells Campy by about 4:1, theres not enough Campy brifters out there to FILL a bin! Jeff N.

[Serotta PETE]

Looks like a picture of SPOKES tou chest in his garage//////////// :rolleyes:

[chrisroph]

The campys are still on bikes shiftin'.

[CNote]

Ergos would be far too valuable for their (useful) spare parts.

4:1

Then show me a bin with 70+ Campy brifters and we'll talk













Keep looking





Keep looking.............. ;)






How about a lot of 10?!

That's hilarious. Somebody went dumpster diving at the Shimano warranty dept. At a buck a pop it's a deal and you are right I can probably fix 90% of them with the electronic parts cleaner since the don't look like crash victims.

[steelrider]

Remember folks, Campy breaks in, while ShimaNO breaks down! I support bicycle jewelry.

[William]

So what. :butt:

I still have a DA 8 set that won't die. I've put thousands of miles on those puppies. Training, road races, crit spills & chills...Oregon rain and shine, Rhode Island humidity and freezing temps and they just won't die. I'm not going to replace the gruppo on this bike until they do.

Since 1995 and still going strong.

PS: Ride what you like. :beer:

Is that an oversized bedpan that the $hitmano brifters are in? :fight:

Yeah. I've been told that if you soak them in certain "fluids" they work better than original. Says a lot about how they work new ;)

[Jeff N.]

If you soaked Campy brifters in certain fluids...they'd probably MELT! But thats OK...they're "rebuildable", right? Jeff N.

:rolleyes:

[ergott]

It's good to know that unlike other forums we can keep this lighthearted and fun. I've seen this kind of thing come to blows on other forums because people are WAY to sensitive about stuff. You'd think I said their mom sucked not a part of their bicycle.

Shimano still sucks... ;)
(really)

[William]

..for guys with little girlie hands. :p


William :D

[znfdl]

William: I have both Campy and Shimano and I prefer the one that need Girlie Hands ;)

[Fixed]

Bro they are both great i.m.h.o. cheers :beer:

[Big Dan]

Well I got both and prefer Shimano..... :D

[Too Tall]

I sanded off the logos and can't tell the difference anymore....arrrrggggg ;)

[The Spider]

PS: Ride what you like. :beer:


actually, you should all ride what I like!

I've always found it interesting in other forums when they are ready to kill cause some guy two thousand miles away likes riding a different brand of componentry. It's lunacy I tell ya!

If every one was riding a Parlee, I'd probably be out there on a Muffy!

[shinomaster]

Every time you click Campy, an angel gets it's wings. When you use Shimano they just go to hell.

[Kevin]

..for guys with little girlie hands. :p


William :D

Not that there is anything wrong with that.

[Jeff N.]

..for guys with little girlie hands. :p


William :DRight on!

[Jeff N.]

Every time you click Campy, an angel gets it's wings. When you use Shimano they just go to hell.But Campy doesn't go click. It goes "snick" or "snark". Now Dura Ace... THATS a click!

..for guys with little girlie hands. :p


William :D

Uncle William has got that one right !!!! :D
