That's interesting. When you say "brifter" are you referring to Shimano STI levers? I run Nitto Noodle bars with Campy ergo shifters and love it! In fact, I picked up another noodle bar to put on my "go-fast" which also has Campy ergo shifters. Note, a couple of other brifters out there - the previously mentioned retro-shift, microshift and of course, Sram. These may or may not work with "older style drop bars" like the noodle.
