If I had a bike like that I’d be putting my name down for the Tour de France as well, no matter how much suffering it entails!

Being N.Italian myself… fun to see some real italian names. Campagnolo is indeed an Italian bicycle parts maker based in Vicenza. Please make sure you’re all pronouncing the name right. ha. Campa-neoh-low.

‘Campagna’ (campa-knee-ah) means anything from “countryside” or “field” to “farmland” so Campagnolo kind of means “a farmtype person” or someong who is “from the farm”. In petty Italian social circles.. being “from the farm” isn’t very chic, but the food is damn good. :)

Iona Campagnolo riding a Campagnolo bike to Campagnolo for dinner could make Kevin Bacon self combust.

Campy has always been the shit in road bikes. Campagnolo on a Cinelli frame? Heaven.

So, Campagnolo can mean lots of different things to lots of different people.

Campagnolo was Lt. Governor of BC. until September of last year. We had tea at her house :-) in March of 05, thanks to my kid.

Campy is still the shit. :)

I’m more the 105 budget, though.

No no Campagnolo is the name of our former gov. general. What a tribute to a hard working politician.

You are correct Matt. Campagnolo running gear used to be the shit 20 years ago. Maybe still, but I am not currently a bicycle geek.

So, what I want to know, is if this place is instead of the “charcuterie place” that they were planning to open? Or did I dream that?
