Campy 9-speed Mirage shifters
10-speed Veloce Der
9-speed Ultegra Cas
Jtek Shiftmate (#1 I think)

Will this work?

According to Sheldon Brown, the derailleur part of the equation doesn't matter if it's 9- or 10-speeds (http://www.sheldonbrown.com/speeds.html). The Jtek Shiftmate compatibility chart (http://www.sheldonbrown.com/harris/shiftmate.html) also doesn't make any distinction between 9- and 10-speed derailleurs either, so the #1 looks right for me. Still, I've heard that the parallelogram is different between the two.

I can get Mirage derailleur in 9-speed, but I can get a good deal on the Veloce, too, and it's a slightly better model. I already have the cassette, no choice there, and I can't afford much better in the shifter category. So if the parallelogram difference is true, I'll have to find a Veloce 9-speed or go with the Mirage 9-speed derailleur, I guess.

Thanks. I'm almost decided!
