    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.

    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.
