I thought the point of your argument was that campy should not be a premium brand so why is it? That point is kind of mute if you dont think they are considered a premium brand.
I would have the discussion regardless of image, good or bad.

My point was never, ever that Campy should or should not be a premium brand.

The reality of the situation is that while some ply the company line we all know that what others offer is the same if not better.

Again, as much as some purport how consumers are defrauded by company hype there us an eager willingness to drink it here.

Sorry, I just stopped in for a visit and came across this thread. Read it from beginning to end to make sure I got everything in context. Couple of things popped right out:
1) Campy makes license plates? Where can I get one?... and
2) For the best toast ever... I know it’s not part of the thread but I thought I should at least contribute in a positive meaningful way...

1. To receive a Campy liscense plate you must provide verification of a Campy tramp stamp

2. I love bread and would try that loaf. Is it premium?

Thanks for photo (good find!) and the humor, it can be a tough crowd sometimes.

I don’t have a tramp stamp, but why should my dating life be brought into this discussion. This is proudly displayed on my fridge however...

As for the bread, you wouldn’t like it, I can just tell.

You keep talking about Koolaid. Two things? What's Kool-Aid and do you know any cycling enthusiasts under 30?

Search is my friend. I now know what Kool-Aid is!

Burnette, you have an interesting take on growth. Should Lightweight try to become ZIPP and are they the same type of organization because they both manufacture bicycle wheels?

If the bread was good, I would say so. If a slice had mold and I was given the business trying to remedy the situation, I would report so too, Ha!

I actually like reading enthusiasm for bike stuff, it gets emotional for some but you have kept you humor, which I enjoy and appreciate. Contrary to what some believe from my posts, I like some Campy stuff. I wouldn't marry it, but I would but it.

I'm sure you are familiar with Koolaid and your wheel comparisons are faulty.

All of this Campagnolo discussion made me think of this restaurant in Toronto...

Must be an amazing restaurant

Wow! Had I known of that restaurant I’d have just gone there instead of buying the bread. I hate cooking.

I actually agree with you on this point. I've said it before but I will probably never purchase another new group in my life....unless Campy goes back to making components in silver alloy that look good. But I'm OK with that, I have enough to get by with.
