Shimano Parts

Are they called Campagnolo ??

nope - was actually being serious for a change. The Wiki article is out of date. There is a new line called Tourney.

Sora will no longer be lowest in Shimano's road pecking order... – there's a new beginner group in the form of Tourney

I actually think I remember a Tourney from back in the 80's - But then I also remember mint green cotton jackets, white cotton pants & peach t-shirts with espadrilles being cool.

Miami - bloody - Vice.

I think Tourney was original part of the touring setup and has now been extended into road bike scene coming in below Sora. Claris potentially having gone many years ago (possibly)...

As for the peach t-shirts and the likes, that could just possibly (and thankfully) be a touch too early for me having only started senior school in 1984 and having had a very sheltered school life...

Nice bikes, Mind I never got the pastel, in my "fashion" days it were 4" platforms, Baggy trousers that looked like they'd had a row with yer boots (think culottes) paisley shirts and a Harrington jacket for going out or red Docs, white "painters" Ben Sherman granddad shirt and a Levi denim for hanging around in.

Tourney is defo the bottom line, just picked up a new 7 spd rear derailleur for my boys MTB for a tenner. Don't know how they make it for the price.

Out of interest, same question but for MTB/hybrid range?
