A friends fiancee has one with Campagnolo Veloce. Apparenltly it rocks! Campag is not the most common choice for touring, but it works so nicely. Nothing above Veloce though.
Another mate has a Waterford with bar end shifters and Pauls brakes. We're going to swap bikes for a while. Should be fun (he wants to try Campag ergo shifting; he cannot use Shimano STI due to a disability).
