Strange CL bike...
So I found this on Craigslist today, found something a bit funny.
https://orlando.craigslist.org/bik/1051701639.html
"This bike came with all 105 Components...The only thing missing was the crank and front derailer, which I replaced with New Old Stock Campagnolo."
Ermm...I think someone missed a critical flaw? Or am I losing it?
My friend bought a bike from this guy...a few days after purchase the brakes fell off. I'm thinking he has no idea what he's doing...

Wouldn't the Campy front derailleur be incompatable with Shimano shifters?

Works just fine. I have Ultegra shifters with a campy Chorus FD.. used to use campy cranks and changed to Rival compact.. still works fine.

Flawless. This bike came with all 105 Components...The only thing missing was the crank and front derailer, which I replaced with New Old Stock Campagnolo. The right shifter was also missing....I replaced it with a New Sora Flight Deck
All 105 but I replaced parts, and now you get a Sora shifter. Sweet!
