I happened to be browsing probikekit.com, and they had the silver 2007 Campy Veloce 10 speed shifters (with cable kit) on sale for $100 delivered. One thing led to another, and now it's gonna be all 10 speed Campy Veloce - with exception of the crank and RD, which will be Centaur. I will retain the Shimano BB and the Shimano 600 headset - they are both smooth.

As this is for my daughter, the saddle, bar tape, and bottle cages will be in pink. I think it's gonna look pretty sharp.
