Campy Bar End Shifters *Updated Photo*
Hey,
I bought these campy bar end shifters off craigslist the other day. I really have no use for them right now (might put them on my miyata touring bike in the future) but they looked neat so I picked them up. I payed $30, but I know absolutely nothing about campy parts so I don't know if that was appropriate price. They seem to be in perfect condition, and I'm just curious if anyone has an idea what their value is? Thanks!

You got a good deal!
One of my bikes has Campy bar end shifters on it. All the others have SunTour bar end shifters, which work better than the Campys. The Campy bar end shifters are great if you get them adjusted properly, but that has never been too easy for me.

ebay away, the market will decide on the value, if there are at least two less experienced bidders, a good chance you will make a profit.

these are simplex barcons with campy rubber covers..
I think these are younger, the expander is different, and the body that holds the lever has a different shape than the early most sought after examples.

Older Campagnolo bar end shifters look different on the plug end, and have a wire wrapped around them laterally. Look at the pair in this auction.
And here are a pair of Simplex barcons in another auction. Price-wise, you are still ok.

Either way, they are probably well worth what you paid for them. As much as I like my SunTour ratchet barcons, I would like to get a pair of period- and continent-correct older Campagnolo (first choice) or Simplex barcons.

i just asked about a mystery simplex shifter in another thread..
the design and construction is different, especially the expander & conical wedge
campy shifters are always marked on the shift lever itself (under the rubber)
some models (dates ?) of the simplex shifters are entirely unmarked

this is probably a dumb question with a simple answer, but how would i remove the cover when the hole is smaller than the end of the shifter? the rubber is not at all flexible so i don't think it would stretch and i wouldn't want to cut it or anything. ideas?

Drop the shifters in a pot of boiling water for a few minutes and the covers will slide right off.

Should be. I've swapped covers between shifters using this method.

Seriously, they are very much identical to Simplex but with no engraving. It is possible that Simplex made a bar end w/o engraving. But I've seen Huret bar ends and I think that's what these are.
