Function before fashion... I guess

 How did Campagnolo- a traditional Italian company immersed in the cultural ideal of that country that says in order for something to perform, it must be beautiful- get to this?


Yikes.  I'm sure it'll perform- albeit nominally- but it looks like... ugh... I don't know what it looks like!  Maybe it'll grow on me.

I prefer the simple elegance of my old Dura Ace cranks.




They've performed flawlessly since 1993 and they're somehow soothing to behold.  The Campys make me want to bite the inside of my lip when I see them.  Fortunately, I'll not be looking at them most of the time.  Maybe they will feel spectacular and I'll grow to cherish them.
