Hah! All four of our Calfees have been Shimano equipped. Still running strong.

Ironically, I think DA shifts faster and more precisely than Record.

But, can you buy replacement parts to upgrade an 8 speed DA to 9 or 10 speed like you can with Record. Heck, can you even get replacement parts for Shimano after about 3 years? Is Shimano even rebuildable?

Not that it matters in this context, but how many racers NOT named Lance have won the Tour de France with a Shimano group?

It really not matters at all. I like the way Shimano works and fits for me. I had a chance to ride Campy equipped bikes when riding in Italy this year and while they worked well, just didn't fit my hands like I'd prefer.

Not so much a matter of superiority of one over the other, but of personal preferences. Ford or Chevy type thing.

I'll ride Campy in Italy again next summer, it's all good.
