Campy STILL makes barcons.
And you can shift barcons all the way across the cogset in one swift move, or to your sweet 'hammer' gear for the conditions, just as fast or faster than a 'click' click' 'click' or all the way.
And what if you ride the drops a lot because its more Aero than on top the hoods?
I'm biased, however. And I don't think indexed shifting with integrated brake&shift levers is in any way considered 'classic'
