    I have been thinking about going with a new compact Campy 07 setup as
    the prices and quality seem to be very good. I was going to go for
    Veloce as I don't really care about carbon.

    I've read some posts lately about the new genearation of Ergo shifters
    that are on all groups up to Centaur. One problem that was noted is
    that the front derailleur can't be trimmed. If this is the case it
    will drive me nuts. The posts I have seen say that the 07 low end
    levers are based on Xenon which makes me concerned. Has anyone used
    the 07 Veloce or Centaur shifters?

    It sounds like the only 07 shifters worth buying are Chorus and up. In
    the past I have used Veloce and they worked fine. Can anyone confirm
    this?

    My thought is to buy 06 Ergo levers and an 06 back derailleur and buy
    07 crank, ft der, brakes and whatever else I need.

    Does this make sense to the Campy experts?

    Thanks,

    Alan

    Wouldn't the 2006 Ergo be 9 speed, and the new 2007 cassette 10 speed?

    Campagnolo left (front) shifters have more shift positions than shimano.
    Thus you can position the front derailleur this way. The double and
    triple models use the same shift levers. I would have no hesitation
    recommending the 07 Veloce levers. I've sold Campagnolo since 99.

    Hope this is of some help.

    Veloce has been 10-speed since 2005.

    Centaur is aluminum crank, only.

    All Campag has been 10s, from Veloce on up for 1/2 a decade.
