WTF: Campagnolo has been sold...
...to Sanrio, the makers of Hello Kitty?
 Can anyone confirm this? Has anyone heard about it? Oddly, both cycling forums I go to are down tonight. I read this rumor through a blast email from a retro grouch cycling forum I belong to. I mean, WTF? How does this:  equal this  The most I've read is family infighting caused the sale. Still, if true, it's completely bizarre. Personally, I don't believe it. I just wondered if anyone else heard or read this.

Well, at least maybe I can get some decent Record stuff for cheap now...
That is really weird.

If they have good Campy Record components, I'm fine with it. Hell most people think cyclists are "ghey" anyway because of our clothes, so what's a few more confused looks...

Finally, some components of sufficient quality to replace those on my Colnago.

Diluting the Hello Kitty brand. Shameful.
