  1. Not hoping to re-open the age old Campy/Shimano war; just a simple
    question...

    I am shopping (eBay, etc.) for upgrades for my "antique" (late 1970s)
    10-speed, which is already a 21-speed. Many of the ads refer to the
    Campy shifters as "for a double" or "for a triple" but it was my
    understandding that Campy used a ratcheting system that made double vs.
    triple moot, facilitates compatibility with Shimano front derailers,
    and allows trimmming.

    Were early 7-speed and 8-speed Campy brifters less universal?

    Yep, Ergoshifters are double and triple FD compatible.

    No such thing as a Campagnolo 7s 'brifter' and yes, from the first day
    of ERGO they can shift a double or triple FD.
