Rebuilding an '80s De Rosa w/ Campy
A friend of mine has an '80s era Dr Rosa with Campy components. He wants to get rid of downtube shifters and get the cables inside the frame.
1) Will current shifters work with older components?
2) If not, will he have to replace all of the components or just deraileurs?
3) He's got Campy Delta brakes (he says). Can he keep those?
4) Will it be possible to run the cables through the frame? He doesn't mind if they have to drill, etc., since he's getting the frame re-painted anyway.

Rear brake cable together with the housing goes inside top tube. I have seen similar setup on several bikes.
