"Nothing in nature can be campy... most campy objects are urban."

"Probably, intending to be campy is always harmful."

"... they want so badly to be campy that they're continually losing the beat."

"Ripley's Believe-It-Or-Not items are rarely campy."

"Thus, things are campy, not when they become old - but when we become less involved in them, and can enjoy, instead of be frustrated by, the failure of the attempt."

[pale scotsman]

Shifting campy;
After a while,
A lonely feeling.

[davids]

Campagnolo is
the band Sarge. And Shimano
the Reputation.

remember to purchase the haiku option.





i love this one from the q and a:
Q: What is the Performance Art option?

A: This brand new innovation in Origami Boulder wadded paper art! You buy Performance Art option. Then artist wad up artwork create custom for you, and throw directly into waste basket. You just paid for custom performance art! You receive email describe performance. If wish, write name or other small message in comment box and artist say, "This art made for _____" when perform.

VERY IMPORTANT. You not get anything in mail when you order Performance Art option. Artist truly create artwork and throw in wastebasket and email when finished. You pay for this art performance, not physical art that come in mail.

[shinomaster]

campagnolo=an over priced rehash of 80's technology, with a sporty new carbon fiber facade.
Shimano=hollow aluminum cranks.

[shinomaster]

Shimano= the Parthenon
Campy=a Roman Temple with Colennades.

[J.Greene]

campagnolo=RS
Shimano=BB

Haiku: Shimano & Campagnolo

an old pond
the sound of a Shimano jumping
into the water


the first cold shower
even the monkey seems to want
a little taste of Campy

[roman meal]

Tullio ergo
Fastest in the breakaway
parallelogram

Soul, Fausto Coppi
No matter how hard I ride
Your spin evades me

Nuovo, Super
Technology and Passion
No, not Veloce.

[Erik.Lazdins]

Croc'e d'Aune Pass
November nineteen twenty seven
Shimano copied

[Elefantino]

I ride my Campy
I do not ride Shimano
But both are O.K.

[roman meal]

Ergo shifts like wood
Shimano is like water
Campy gives me wood.

[39cross]

valentino crap
you will bow to the east to
cold Japanese steel

Friends do not let friends ride ShimaNO.

this versus that, us and them
a waste of bandwidth

sram on dario
alloy frame sports chorus mix
kozo’s best with ti

[swoop]

sram, campy, shimano
these are just things - shining
the suffering is the way

[mosca]

new thread same story
the content has jumped the shark
but the form improves

[oracle]

the roman carbon -

so much pretty dirt and glue!

shimano is real

[sspielman]

By the shores of ichee oomie
by the banks of Osaka Bay
a man named Shozo Shimano
made parts that break both night and day...

His shifters are over complicated
his bearings are made of tin
and as for that new crankset
its appearance is a mortal sin....

Positron was a high point
elliptical chainrings we shall not even mention
but to make a prisoner look at Dura Ace AX
is a violation of the Geneva Convention!!....
