I tend to agree. I'd prefer to "keep it in the family." But here's why:
-Our providers don't offer a Campy 36 spoke rear hub, which I'd prefer to spoke with my classic campy rim
-It would cost significantly more
-I've already ordered the shimano 105
They're not the best reasons. I should look into the cost of a campy wheel....

True. I haven't raced yet, but I'd like to. I try to ride about 100 miles a week if I can, but have been finding the downtube shifting to be troublesome.
