It seems that all those Shimergo guys are right all along: Campagnolo shifters with Shimano RD's, wheels and cassettes are the cheapest way to get a brifter bike.
Nothing wrong at all going with the lower cost Shimergo route, especially for x bikes.
I wouldn't discount the used Campy route though.
I picked up a complete 2009 Centaur group last night for less than $250.
Maybe it was pure luck, but I had answered an ad locally two months ago and he had the groupset at a higher price so I passed.
It never sold and he called me back to sell it at my "offer" price.
It's going on a friend's Ridley x bike this afternoon.
