TimB,

Here I thought maybe we could get over this pimpy bike
stuff and here you go dredging up the shimano/campy war.

(SIGH)

I think alot of the mystique of Campy is leftover from the
record, Nuovo Record and SuperRecord days when you could
repair your own RD's. I haven't tried on a newer one so
I can't comment. However I do know (cause I did it) that
you can repair an Ergo Lever and it isn't all that difficult and
no special tools required (but you do get extra points for
VAR or Campy tools).

I think campy levers will work with shimano cassettes
need to check on that, at least does with spacer kits.

l didn't think the thread was about campy vs. shimano,
but that fact that the new Dura Ace crankset (as seen on
Lance's bike) was mountain bike ugly (Ok, I have my nomex
on now!). I don't care, if FSA, Shimano, Campy, Galli, Stronglight,
TA Cyclotourist or Sakae produced it, it would STILL be UGLY.

thats my story and I'm stickin to it.
