The rest of your bikes are of a much higher grade, and when out on a tour you may regret not having something as good as your "race bikes" underneath you. ---Fred Paulos I generally agree, which is the reason my commuter is all Racing Triple mixed with Veloce. But the shifters are Mirage, because they were really, really cheap. Unlike many commuters around here, I'm a fair-weather commuter, and 90% of my 14-mile commute is on a protected trail that is an old railroad alignment and is thus devoid of steep hills. Not much shifting. The other Mirage Ergo, ah, set is on my travel bike, which gets used less than 500 miles a year. But, boy, those 500 miles have include some really wonderful rides! No, they are not as crisp as the Chorus shifters on the Merckx, but they work reliably enough. One of these days a deal will appear on some old-stock Chorus or Athena shifters, and I'll grab 'em. That's how I got a new Racing Triple crank, for which I paid $70. Rick "It's all 'old' 8-speed stuff, too" Denney Reading this in year 2020. |

Current ranges: Super Record Record Chorus Centaur All of which work very well, the top end series being lighter in weight. There are disc, electronic (and a new 13x1 set) options of course, but the best answer to your question is 'another Centaur'. -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |

I think I just saw a new Campy Ekar mechanical gravel group that is 1 x 14 speed. This is getting absolutely ridiculous. All Campy groups only have disks. |
