I had always been drawn to Campy equipment due to , in my opinion , it 's superior aesthetics at the time . I took a quick spin on that bike and was instantly sold on the crisp shifting and superior ergonomics of the shifters and consequently vowed that my next bike would be Campagnolo equipped .

When I talked about backing out of it , he would just say , " Hey , it 's up to you , " but with a deliberate look that said , " Failure is part of success . Do n't give up .
