They kept the factory doors closed for eight decades, but now you can get beyond them without having to evade security

Fancy a trip to Campagnolo’s Italian HQ?

Last year Campagnolo opened its factory to visitors for the first time and now distributor Chicken Cyclekit is offering customers chance to join a tour at the iconic factory.

Dates of the trip are yet to be confirmed, but the trip will consist of two days, one day visiting the factory with guided tours to provide insight into how the Italian components are crafted. The other will be a day for relaxing, sightseeing and enjoying what the local towns have to offer.

Full details will be announced soon, but if you are interested in joining Chicken Cyclekit, phone the sales office on 01525 381347.
