I don't get it. I'm in the middle of building / renovating a 1986 Raleigh Sirocco and have been sourcing parts for it on ebay. Now, I bought a NOS period aero Shimano seat-post, which is very nice. I also bought a period NOS aero Campag seat-post, which was quite a few quid more. The Campag post arrived today and it's heavier, it also isn't as well made as the Shimano post. I don't get it; what's all the fuss about with Campag? Is it really, simply, designer label bullshit?
