Why do I hear so many people hating on Sora thumb shifters but so much oooooing & awwwing over Campy stuff with the same thumb shifters????

I could never reach them in the drops, and they didn't trim worth a darn either. I ended up with 6600 so I can't comment on campy thumb shifters.

thank you so much for posting that so I didn't have to. actually you did better. I would have simply written "go get microshift."

but have no fear, I'm sure the OP won't heed our advice. :lol:

Go with these: http://retroshift.com/ Pretty good solution. Friction shift STI's.

Those are so the bomb yo... if I build up a classic and actually don't want down tube shifters... I am totally going retroshift... btw they also come indexed...

Excellent idea. This stuff works really well, it's fully compatible with Shimano 7800, 6600, and 5600 (for a supply of cassettes and replacements if needed), and the price is right.
