Yes, the Fiat that was the origin of the Yugo.<br /><br />And, even if we talk only of Campy, google "campagnolo valentino." I also have some of THAT. I don't think they touched on it in Buycycling...Steve Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13650405341304401203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2326858715462949029.post-66045403086469394872011-11-05T22:29:27.374-10:002011-11-05T22:29:27.374-10:00Steve A, for some odd reason folks seem to love it...Steve A, for some odd reason folks seem to love it or leave it.<br />Campagnolo I mean.<br /><br />JRA, interesting stuff about the post tsunami thing.<br />It seems the Japanese craft industry is waning for many reasons.

I'm sure the the image of massive machines stamping out thousands of parts per hour also occurs, but the waves wiped out some of those smaller upstream fabricators, which set back the overall production.
