Hi Brenton — The only brifters I've run are Campagnolo Ergopower Chorus 
10-speed to Shimano 9-speed. If you're open to running an 8 speed Shimano 
cassette you could keep an eye out for Ergopower 9 shifters and you'll have 
more to chose from.

I haven't run the Ergopower shifters with a 3x. Given Campy's road racing 
pedigree I'm not sure they're designed to handle a triple. 

Ergopower prices are tough. To give you an idea, here's a set of 9-speed 
Chorus shifters <https://www.ebay.com/itm/157927793076> in nice shape for 
$185 with 21 watchers. Veloce and Centaur series are often cheaper than 
Chorus or Record. Also, make sure you know what you're getting. The search 
feature on eBay has seriously degraded recently and search results capture 
far more than search parameters. "Campagnolo 10 speed shifters" will show 
you 8, 9 and 11 speed shifters. If you add quotation marks you'll get more 
accurate results. Search *Campagnolo "10" speed shifters *and you'll weed 
out the other stuff. 

People still like the Ergopower shifters, fair amount of demand. Because 
they're rebuildable, people often hold onto them for parts. A lot of the 
listings I've seen are in Europe and getting them is more expensive now 
with tariffs and international shipping being what they are (bad). I'd say 
hold out for a nice set, I often see them come up with lots of scratches. 
Saved eBay searches are great for this. I'd expect to pay $150-$200 for a 
set in nice shape, plus shipping. 

If you have a good local bicycle co-op you might do better. Or get lucky on 
local marketplace. 

Cheers!
