Setting aside what the seller claims, any thoughts or experience on how many gears these shifters would comfortably accomodate? Do you think they would routinely handle 8-speed? Anyone with any experience with this vintage of shifter? Thanks!

Also, would these be road bike or mountain bike shifters and does that even matter since they are friction?

I've used the shimano version of these on my cyclocross, and the range never got further than 6cogs, even though there were 7 of them... The left shifter was a frozen suntour, so I've never used the inner chainring. Maybe then it could get to the biggest cog, but I'm not sure.

Already got a shimano replacement, but would love to get my hands on these campy ones! Probably selling at
100 bucks?

I doubt they'll reach that, what with the missing original nut and somewhat crude-looking replacement.

IdK, being realistic i'm using 6&7, freewheels, Campag friction bar-end,
& a Campag Rally on the other end of the cable

you can always put a J tec shift-mate cable pull multiplier on the RD,
if you want to go past the capabilities
using other than similar period combinations..

later RD seem to need more cable pull , use a Euclid on my touring bike,
it has sun tour's bar end shifters, still a 7 speed,, but use 13-32 range..

seems OK, sun tour patent in the slant pantograph expired ,( the company itself soon after)
All the others jumped on the design, as you see now ..
