hi,
looking to build up a inexpensive frame and was think i would like to try
a campy xenon groupset.
problem is, i cant find any xenon components for sale in the usa. are they
imported to the usa at all? does anyone have a source?

I've only seen Xenon at european online sellers, but they have Campy stuff
so cheap it more than offsets the high shipping costs. Be warned, though,
Campy USA will not honor warranty on foreign-bought parts.

And I'd upgrade to Mirage for the Ergos (Xenon aren't easily rebuildable,
IIRC) and rear mech (Xenon's has plastic knuckles).

I would guess the simpler design means they may not need rebuilding, but
unlike Mirage, you can't shift to more than one smaller sprocket at once.
Worth having Mirage for that feature alone, I think. Sadly and bizarrely,
only Record Ergos will have this feature next year!

That doesn't really matter and keeps the weight down. Xenon mech works
just as well as a Chorus, IME.

this is to make it easier to switch to SRAM 😉

I have 'heard' that Chorus and Record will, but Centaur and on down
will not...Centaur will have carbon levers as well...but it's just
'rumor'...
