About Campagnolo
The Italian bike component manufacturer Campagnolo is best known for it’s range of groupsets and drivetrain related products.
Founded in 1933 by road cyclist Tullio Campagnolo, based upon ideas he had for amongst others, wheels and derailleurs.
In 1940 their first rear derailleur entered production, enabling the rider to change gears without removing their rear wheel.
Although primarily a cycling company, Campag (as they are often abbreviated to) have also manufactured products for the sports auto industry for brands such as Alfa Romeo, Ferrari, Lamborghini and Maserati.
Achievements in the cycling world include helping Eddy Merckx set the world hour record in 1972.
As the years progressed, the number of gears increased, with 8 Speed (1991), 9 Speed (in 1997), 10 speed (in 2000) and now 11 speed in 2008.
Notable riders to have won the Tour de France on Campag equipment include Eddy Merckx (5 times), Bernard Hinault (5 times), Greg LeMond (twice) and Miguel Indurain (5 times).
In recent times Riis, Ullrich, Pantani, Pereiro and Nibali have won riding with Campagnolo.
