all i know is that campy uses the thumb clicker to shift on the road brifters; besisdes that from what i've heard they're roughly the same shifting quality.

up the top end, im talking record and dura ace, there is only a small decrease in quality due to the complexity of the campy system. Campy uses the STI style levers to shift up and the thumb clickers to shift down (if i remember correctly) where as shimano has the STI lever do it all.

Or wait another month or so until SRAM has released their bar end shifters. Its all preference. I like SRAM from my MTB and will continue to support the company. Campy I am sure works fine, never had it on any of my bikes.
Life is short. Play hard and get dirty doing it.

I have the campy on one bike and shimano on another---like the shimano better personally.
ok I dont want to start a huge war, but I'm afraid that might be tough to avoid given the title of this thread. I am currently considering switching my road bike from Shimano to Campy. I have full Shimano on my tri bike and now that I have an Italian road bike I really want to get Campy. I'm just wondering what the major differences are (especially in terms of shifting) I know Campy is lighter on comparable quality levels. Any insight anyone can provide would be appreciated.
thanks a lot
