Will a Campy front derailleur work with a Shimano STI Shifter? The reason
that I am asking is, that I want to use 10 speed Shimano STI drivetrain with
a compact road crankset (110 bolt circle with 50/34 chainrings). Campy seems
to be the only one making a compact specific front derailleur. I main
concern is will the trim function of Shimano shifter work well with a Campy
front?

Thanks in advance.


You don't need the compact specific front derailleur. Any Campy front
derailleur shifts a 50/34 fine. Shimano front derailleurs like 105 or
DA do fine as well. I'm not certain that the Campy front deralleur
will index properly with STI.
