Campagnolo or Shimano?
This can be debated to exhaustion but, national and brand allegiances aside, the long-term experiential difference is primarily a function of the shifting mechanisms. It’s a matter of personal preference and we build bikes with Campagnolo, Shimano, or appropriate blend, as well as others (SRAM, Chris King, DT-Swiss, Paul Components, Ritchey, etc.) Shimano currently appears more committed to protecting the independent “brick and mortar” bicycle dealer, but we also proudly proclaim our status as a rare and esteemed Campagnolo Pro Shop.
