I believe all 4 groups shared the same shiftrs, being friction, Doppler and Synchro either one or two.
Now trying to pic from Victory and Triomphe.. that take a bit of skill.
It was a question of finances. I was in high school at the time, and budget didn't allow for a full Corsa group, so there was a mix of Corsa and C-record. Not that it really an issue, but I is all growed up now and want full Corsa.
There were somethings that never made sense to buy (SGR-1)... I am no more sensible, possibly less so as you may find.
Some of the confusion I see is that many people don't know all of the parts that go into the shifters. Many I have seen on eBay don't have all of the washers and may not function properly with out them.
Yes, if memory serves me, the "high art" groups (C, Chorus, CDA) all used the same shifters. Super Record still used the older design at the time.
The brake levers were/are still a bit confusing, with the QR in the lever, the micro adjust option in the lever, aero routing... I really have no idea which ones are correct. Campy was/is a confusing company and seemed to change specs on a whim.
As long as I'm stripping and cleaning I thought people might benefit from seeing these components up close and inside out.
