It's not *that* hard to build an all-alloy Campy-equipped bicycle. Here's my Riv Road on a brevet in 2010: http://www.flickr.com/photos/campyonlyguy/4635857718/ Athena is nicely finished and offers almost all of the performance of Chorus at a lower price. --Eric N www.campyonly.com On Feb 13, 2012, at 11:25 AM, pb pbridge...@aol.com wrote: Or you could painstakingly gather silver Campy bits, at some expense. http://www.flickr.com/photos/pbridge1300/6764291787/in/photostream/ ~Peter On Feb 11, 10:45 pm, Eric ericwolfo...@gmail.com wrote: Would I be breaking any RBW aesthetic rules by throwing on a Campy Record 10 group on my Ramouillet?

Eric, I can't think of any reason why you shouldn't do it, but I also can't think of any reason why you would want to. Just because you can? or just to see what it's like? Or maybe I just can't think of any reason why I would want either 10 speed, or a return to brifters.

Agree with James. Do what you want with your bike.

Does it break the rules? What rules? Rules... for a bike build? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1e9Matf19k If those are the rules, then I'm a scofflaw. My Roadeo likes its 10 speed Campy Record. I pulled the group set off my Colnago Masterlight, and it's great on the Roadeo. http://www.flickr.com/photos/41563482@N06/sets/72157625470080748/ Max Beach Sonoma County -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

That's what I've got on my Ram. The cranks are TA Carmina. Brakes are Dura Ace. I figured that if I paid for it, I can set it up like I want. I might feel differently about the use of candy-colored tires or hipster bars barely long enough for a brake lever. There are, surely, some limits.

[RBW] Re: Campy Record 10 group on Rambouillet?
While most of the RBW crowd seem to prefer bar ends and friction shifting, there is at least a significant number - myself included - who like brifters and indexed. I have Shimano STI on one bike, Campy Ergo on another, both are 9 speed, I like them both. I may switch to bar ends just for a change when those eventually wear out, but as others have opined, the central thing about RBW philosophy is to do what you like and to make your bikes uniquely yours. You'll seldom see two RBW bikes exactly alike, at least on this list, and much of the fun is in seeing how differently the bikes are set up. I hope the new impetus toward coordinated Build Kits does not change that much. Have at it, and as Grant has advised, be sure to do something to make it unlike any other bike in the velo universe.

Many more here than in the population at large who like both bar ends and friction, but not necessarily a majority, and not necessarily for both. I have indexed bar ends on almost everything in the fleet except for one bike, which is friction bar ends. I have Shimano STI on one bike, Campy Ergo on another, both are 9 speed, I like them both.

It rules. Verily. AGREED! and, to dovetail recent posts regarding rapid-rise rear mechs, if you mate the campy controls with a rapid rise derailer, you can shift into the higher gears from the drops and sweep the whole way up the cassette with one push of the thumb when you're on the hoods. it's pretty sweet. solid too. i run it for racing cyclocross and i have no issues with shifting in even the worst conditions. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.
