Italy's TISO Announces 12 Speed Gruppo

I thought "10 speed" (5 in the back) was fine. Then it was 6....then 7....then 8......then 9....then 10 with ten now meaning 10 in the back because no one called them twenty (or thirty!) speed bikes. Surely, it must stop at that point? No, Campagnolo was first to 11, now followed by Shimano. Now TISO announces a 12 speed system.

And, by the way, Campagnolo filed for a 12 speed patent back in 2009.
