From the article:

"Campagnolo's highest grade groups, Record (current production) and Super Record (up to 1985), were universally regarded as being unbeatable, some of the lower priced grouppos such as Chorus were often considered to be somewhat overpriced in contrast to the less prestigious competition."

Hmm... So Record is universally considered as unbeatable. Actually, I'd agree that it is the best, but if it is a universal belief, why does Dura Ace sell so well?

The second part hits me more though - I've always known Chorus as a better value and almost identical alternative to Record, offering better value for money. The article says the opposite.

Another point, Chorus isn't one of the "lower priced grouppos" - Veloce, Mirage and Xenon are the lower priced groups. Out of the six, Chorus is second most expensive!

And Campagnolo's lower priced groups are actually really good value for money. More so in Europe than the USA I believe. They really are quite competitively priced against Shimano/SRAM.

I think the sentence should re-written, as it is it's POV. 17:29, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

"Campagnolo components have generally been slightly more expensive than its current main compeitior Shimano. However, as of mid-2007, some Shimano Dura-ace components are slightly more expensive than Campagnolo Record."

Given that the price is slightly higher or lower depending on when and where you look, in my opinion, these sentences should not be included in the article, especially the leading paragraph. It is sufficient to state that Campagnolo's primary competitor is Shimano. RosinDebow 02:44, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:CampagnoloLogo.gif

I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.
