Source of name is Nadsat?

I always thought Campag Velocet a reference to the road bicycle equipment by Campagnolo (often abbreviated to Campag) called Veloce. This is backed up by their early inclusion of cycling images in their artwork.

On the Vinyl single of To Lose La Trek, the label clearly shows a Campagnolo Cassette_(bicycle_part) with the "Made in Italy" changed to "Made in the UK" —The preceding unsigned comment was added by WikianJim (talkcontribs) 12:04, 17 January 2007 (UTC).[reply]

By the way, in case anyone is interested, you can see the Campagnolo Veloce groupset here: [1] - oh and sorry for forgetting to sign - thanks to the HagermanBot! WikianJim 16:54, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, I'd say it is pretty obvious this is where they got the name from. I'll add it to the article proper instead or arsing around on the talk page all day! WikianJim 16:55, 17 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
