I gather that Record STI works the same way as Suntour Express - one movement gets it up into the top (or bottom). That's the way I like it. Have yet to try any of the current Campy STI stuff, but it sounds like I should...
P.S.: If anything, go with Syncros 2 - lesser of two evils. I can get you NOS click-stop inserts too, various "colors".

Thanks Kurt, there is some NOS Syncros 2 that I can get, so I'll go with those. They are said to have 6 speed inserts, so I may have to get in touch with you.
The Dura Ace Down tube shifters are slightly positive in detent, but it is easy to push the shift through the entire range.
OK, so I'm getting a bit giddy about having an old school shifting system, not sure why.... Which Syncros lever was it that had the secondary lever that locked to the main shifter, Syncros 1?
Would you happen to have a line on another C-Record Derailleur like the 85-86 you sold? I know that is the one I want to find, as that was the one I always loved the look of.
Howabout Hubsets? Are there specific C-Records I will require to use a 7-8 speed freewheel? Or will they all work? It is a free wheel I'm dealing with right?
Thanks for all the help
