If you wanted to have index shifting, you will need Campy shifters. Since all DT shifters are friction in front, you can use any front derailleur you wish.
actually he would need Campi shifters only if the FW/Cassette is Campy or Campy spaced. if the FW/cassette is Shimano spaced then he needs shimano compatible shifters.
I believe we are still in the dark as to the true idenity of the FW/Cassette (did we come up with an abreviation for Cassette yet?)
