For the most part, Mongo has always been a Shimano man. There was that brief period in the 70's when I experimented with Suntour and Dia-Compe, but I can't remember much and I served my time.
What about Campagnolo, you might ask? Mongo thinks of Campy like I think about a Ferrari. Though it would be sweet to own one, I can't afford the upkeep...so I would never be able to enjoy it without worrying about the cost of replacing a part.
This brings me to my new best friend...SRAM. Their cassettes and chains are fully compatible with my Ultegra shifters and derailleurs...and at approximately two thirds the cost of their Shimano counterparts, they are also lighter.
