Campagnolo sold to Shimano!?

anyway, about this fucking of the elders. Wednesdays are good for me but I have to say I'm not a morning person and I tend to nod off mid-evening so maybe the afternoon?

Dibs on the slot where you nod off.

Ah well, ships in the night. Or, sadly, when you get to my age, shits.

Sleeping through it would be an plus point for me too :)

I put a smiley face in there:( . Blimey, I'm having second thoughts about the whole thing now. Waste of a blue pill probably.

Have you been out on that bike yet?

Have you been out on that bike yet?

Yep I have, :D just need to swap over on the pedals and toecages, but its been brilliant to ride. Just not feeling very road safe though, as Ive not no experience on roads.
Been unwell today, so Ive been keeping the bike in my room so I wont miss it. Also I just got a Pug as well :P

Brilliant, are you going to roll with Critical Mass on friday evening?

Is it safe for a person who is hardly on roads/ a wee bit unfit? We're not going to lie down on roads as I once read about a CM a while back?

Heh, it's totally safe, a very sedate pace, and you don't have to do any of the shit they get up to. Just nice to be around so many boikes.

Sure I'll be down for it! And Im assuming you mean bikes? My Git is geared though mind you and havent totally got the hang of it as well putting my feet IN the toecages (I broke an old leather strap cos of it) but I dont mind embrassing myself and get some nice advice/tips from others. After all Im not going to bulid a bike to sell it on ;)

Last time I went, there was a girl on a massive Dutch bike who couldn't even ride it. Worse, there was a little puppy sat in the basket, bricking it.

Where's the photos of the Pug?

Will took some black and white photos of it, but I searched for it online and this is what I should be getting but in red and white. Just the frame, will be making that one fixed I think

Also its been posted in the current projects, where Im getting some advice what to do about it as well, as this will be my first build :)

never stir another mans porridge.

Having been to Cmass in a good few years. My last one was the Weapon sale demo at the excel centre & got arrested for my trouble.
How are the police nowadays at Cmass?

If it's true, I wonder how they will get this past the EU Competition Commissioner?

Does anyone know the market share of both companies in Europe?

Have you read any of this thread other than the title?

Are you saying it's a hoax then Hippy.

It's been reported as a rumour that's it.

Have you read any of this thread other than the title?

I'll ask again.. have you read any of the thread??

"A Shimano Europe spokesman said that he heard that rumours too, but that he could definitely deny any involvement of the Japan based component maker."

Yep, read that bit. I worked at BMG when SONY said exactly the same thing.

Well that's ok then.. let's continue the rumour with no further information..

I have it on good authority that Shimano failed to "dibs" Campag and therefore missed out.

I'd believe you over a Corporate PR Man.

Ha!

I'd be gutted if the worlds premier distributor of Romanian manufactured Italian assembled bike components fell into foreign ownership.

It would make more sense that another one of shi(t)mano's competitors bought it.
