2011 Campagnolo, Fact or Fiction?






I'm still trying to wrap my head around why these photos appear on a Taiwanese (?) website but nevertheless the good news, if the photos are true, is that riders would have some good choices for alloy brake/shifter options in the Campagnolo groupsets.

It appears that alloy levers will be available in the 11 speed Athena and 10 speed Centaur and Veloce groupsets.

There is also a cyclocross crankset pictured.

The photos are from here (the top photo is Athena 11s, the remaining photos are labeled).

Stories for the Italian Cycling Journal about rides, granfondo, having a good time cycling in Italy, Italian cycling history, etc. are very welcome. Contact me at veronaman@gmail.com. There are more than 1,300 stories in this blog. The search feature to the right works best for finding subjects in the blog and there is also a translate button at the bottom so you can translate each page.

  1. The Taipei International Cycle Show would be my bet as to why these showed up on a Taiwanese website.

  2. Or maybe they were leaked from the OEM side?

  3. Great news! I cant wait to upgrade my Tommasini Tecno with alloy Athena 11s parts with those alloy levers. Good work by Campagnolo to recognise the retro-trend.
