Hmm, if it's not Shimano, then who?

• SR/Suntour?
• Sakae?
• Sugino?

Imagine how may fixed hipsters will cream themselves if they can get NJS Campy gear!

Everyone knows Shimano shifts better !

Just read on a German site, it's been bought by a Japanese investment company and not Shimano.

I think people just assumed too much.

I'm a Shimano man myself but I recognise the value of choice and innovation so I'm glad the two won't come together.

I suppose that's good. If they were both British companies, there would be an investigation by the monopolies commission.

Ah well, back to the Sturmey Archer 3 speed of my youth.

Who are now a Taiwanese company IIRC, part of Suntour I believe.

Shimano will keep Campag..... come on..anyone know where Campag's Carbon kit is moulded...? I don't...but it's not advertised is it..

It's made by Campagnolo in Romania. Sorry to squash your conspiracy theory.

I have just got the email at 4.30

Campagnolo’s Marketing & Communication Director Lorenzo Taxis said Campagnolo has not been sold and is not for sale.

Hurrah! (Pops a bottle of Italian sparkling wine).

At least my next bike won't have to have SRAM.
