Alright. I'm still hoping to hear of the experience of others with either of these FDs.

The reputation of the Mavic is good. I've heard very little of the Campy OR. The build is going to be "idiosyncratic", so I'm really only concerned with function – and a bit of cool factor, rooted in obscure. Like the bike it'll be going onto.

So, this is them.



Advise, anecdotal stories, whatever. All welcome.

Thanks.
