Well, the chainring bolts are certainly Campy, but the chainring itself is Shimano Dura Ace. One really has to know their bikes to notice that, because all one can see is "-Ace" on the 'ring, so one would have to know that's the last part of Dura-Ace, further that Dura-Ace is Shimano's top o' the line groupo. The blasphemy, of course, is putting Japanese parts on an Italian bike. ;-) That's not to put down Japanese components or bikes. Their Keirin track bikes (Keirin is an extremely popular Japanese velodrome racing series, now an Olympic sport!) are things of beauty. But mixing Japanese parts on an Italian thoroughbred? Sheesh! ;-) Thanks for the comment! cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
