My gofast Giordana has Sachs (Campagnolo Ergopower) 8 speed brifters. I like them a lot, and appreciate the high quality feel of the Campagnolo stuff. It just feels solid and works well after 20 years.
I bet the high end Shimano stuff (with metal levers) is similarly nice, but I've only tried Tiagra and Sora 9 speed controls. The plastic levers on those felt flimsy. One advantage of Campagnolo brifters: they're much easier to rebiuld/repair. One disadvantage of brifters in general: they're designed for drop bars, and don't feel natural on other bar shapes. Bar-ends are more versatile in that regard. Tim Gavin Cedar Rapids, IA -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
