Got lots of bits to build a old 7 speed campag equiped cross bike apart from gear levers.
Idealy I want to keep all the old but imaculate kit.
Apparently I could use 8 speed Ergos, but the other option is bar end levers in friction mode.

Anyone use them on a regular basis, the bike will be for 'rides' and light training not competition.

Unless you are pushing it you won't really worry. I use them. however if you want 8 speed Campg ergos mine could go. Badged Sach. Chorus or Record spec, very good cond.

So have I Sam, a whole hardly used Campagnolo Athena groupset with wheels that's not been used since 1993.
Bit dodgy for cross anyway.

I might be after some 8 speed Ergos later this week if my frame comes through. How much would you be wanting.
