Campagnolo. Campy has come a long way since it started. Even though its market share is at a small percentage right now I think it still has a lot to offer. Campy is completely rebuildable and you can get the parts. I also like the direction that I see Campagnolo going in. They keep up grading the parts every year and pass on the changes a few years later to the lower groups. By just upgrading the parts if they go down a wrong path they can come back the next year to fix the problem. Dollar per dollar Shimano is lighter and it would seem to be more for the money but the mechanic in me loves the ability to rebuild it and the reliability of it too. I personally ride with Campagnolo Chorus on two of my bikes and could not be happier with them.
How we sell Campagnolo now has change since the old days when we would sell it as a group. We would get calls all the time as to the price of a Campy group then the customer would decide who they would buy it from. Except for a part or two different the customer would have a good idea as to the best price. Of course some would forget that if you bought the group someplace else I would have to charge labor to install it for you. We still do groups but we sell a lot more "kits" now or even part group and a build kit. This is easier for me and lets me offer better prices to you but it is harder to figure out better value for you. You now need to know a lot of different prices with all the other parts available out there. I will list group prices and kit prices. I will list the build kits with every part available with it. Any part can be pulled or change giving a different price with an almost endless possibility.
I know it is a little more work on your part but you look up the price of the frame then look at the price of the kit. Remember the prices will change to me with out notice so I reserve the right to do the same to you I can make up some of the difference but not all.
