<not a mechanic>I would think that you _should_ be able to get a double working with brifters regardless of pull, as the double brifter gives up plenty of slack (i.e. enough to fall off to the inside of the small ring). Set the high end so that it's in the right place (i,e. so that the high limit screw doesn't do anything), and you should be able to use the low limit screw to hit the right place for the little ring.

EDIT: Also, if it helps, I know that the double brifter for 105 and up has a click's worth of trim adjustment.

My left Campy brifter isn't really "indexed" like the right one. There are clicks, but there's like 15(?) of them, not just 3 like my 105 stuff. It's nice that way as I can trim the front mech as needed to get rid of any chain rub.

I was going to post some kind of picture involving a shot of espresso and the words "Campy snob", but I can't be bothered.. use your imagination :D

ps. yes, those are both from my own Flickr stream. ;)
pps. that was a cappuccino, but the fact that I'm pointing that out probably backs up the espresso-snob side of the coin too. heheheh.

My first real bike was a Wicked Fat Chance. Man I would love to have that again, 14 speed (mtb casette with 53-39 rings), dx thumb shifters, mavic ceramic rims and dx hubs. So, so sweet.

I still have sexual dreams with that bike in them.

Tickets are here, awaiting pickup!

Thanks TJ! :)

Damn, son. That's not bad at all.

w00t! I'll be by as soon as I can to take a look and possibly get my haggle on. :)

My first "good" bike I still ride every day! L'il hauler. This will be the 17th season for it :)

Mine was a yellow Bianchi MTB in the 80's. Then upgraded it when the first straight fork came out.
My pleasure Brad.

i believe my first good bike was a specialized rockhopper with stx. it was too small, but i wish i still had it.

My memorable bikes were a fixed solid-wheeled bike which was my first, then I had a Raleigh Mag Burner, a couple of girl-style cruisers (internal 3 speed hubs) and then later a Raleigh 10-speed road bike as a youngun, then went to an X-mart MTB when I was around 15 that lasted me through 'til I left the UK and I left it there.

I think by definition, the Raleigh bikes were fairly decent, but I've yet to really have a 'good' bike. If it wasn't for the perma-frame damage, my Centurion would be reasonable but until my IRO is built I'm in klunker-ville.

So, Wes, you wanna post up teaser pictures? Take THIS!

*cough* Panasonic LX2 *cough*

hahaha, i know... i could have been a little less obvious.

I still have the first real bike that I ever bought, a 1988 GT Karakoram. Before that, I had a Talisman (a long defunct Canuck brand) that I bought from Broadway cycle up at Bloor/Dufferin. I had a coupon from a Toronto cycling mag that gave me $50 off of the Talisman but the owner wouldn't honour it until I practically screamed bloody murder in front of his store. Heheh, what a bastid.

Here is the GT as it looks now, great snow bike:

Nice. I was eyeing all those panasonic/leica cameras when I bought my P&S. Did you pick one up? I'd love to check it out sometime if you did.

My first good bike was a early/mid 90s Giant ATX-780. I still had it until about 3 years ago actually, but I loaned it to a coworker when their bike got stolen. Long story short I haven't seen it since.

Is that a splatter paint fork AND stem? sweet.

hey guys, here's a good way to clean your monitors:

Hehe, yup, the whole thing is very very very late '80s. I used to have a purple anodized bar on it, I wonder if I can dig that up? :D

Well played, sir.

Rennick -- not _really_ a teaser.. Wes, isn't that just the Uncle John that we've already seen a brazillion pictures of? ;)

it should be here this week if i'm lucky - ben's got one and he really likes it... my boss just picked up one of those leica d-lux cameras and i've been lusting after it ever since so this is a nice close second. ;)

Yes.. Leica == instant lust. Dream camera setup: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:M8JI1.jpg

In the brifter photo? Yes. That wasn't intended to be a teaser shot.. just a Campy + espresso diptych. :)

I got an email this morning from a design agency I'm tag-teaming a website with and the designer is a guy I met this past season through 'cross racing. Small world. :P

Since I failed I had loads of time to blow now:

dang. sorry to hear op.

the hell is wrong with Canada post! They won't even allow me to send a wheelset to the states because it exceeds their size limitations!?
And purolator wants $130 to ship it.
ah. game over :( I'm pretty sure they just changed their policies and size limitations because I just shipped out an entire bike last summer.

Can you drop off USPS in Canada anywhere?

I know they will ship square wheelsize boxes. Is your box unusually deep or something?

No, it has to go through Canada Post. Just like vice-versa. Are you sure you're reading the max dimensions correctly, sr20det? I thought their max sizes were closer to bike box size.
