    Hey all.

    I've got a road-frame that I need to get on the road. I built it in '98 and have yet to ride it. I don't have a local bike shop to help me out, so I'm turning to you guys and gals.

    Here's what I have so far for it...unless otherwise mentioned, all items are Campy...

    Chorus headset
    Athena brakes (calipers, NON-ergo levers)
    Veloce BB
    Chorus 9-spd rear der.
    Record 9-spd down-tube shifters

    Now, I know I need a front der., as well as a crank, chain, and cassette. The question is, since this is all "older" (but brand new) stuff, can I still buy NEW stuff to use it with, and if so - what do I need?

    Seems like everytime I turn around there's a new 10 speed setup that's not compatible with anything else. Kinda like computers, eh?

    Anyhow...any advice is welcomed.

    I am also considering going the aero route instead of the d/t shifter route.

    For the record, this is what I call a "classic, traditional" steel, lugged bicycle.

    Thanks!
    Andy

    That's nonsense.The 10 speed stuff that doesn't work with 9 is shifters and cassette.

    Lighten up, dude. It was just a general lament for the difficulties manufacturers like to throw in our way these days. Sheesh, it's not like this stuff is really importantin the grand scheme of things! 🙄

    Funny, that's what I was telling you to take. You've got issues.

    I think that Campagnolo Veloce 9spd Ergo shifters will work just fine with your existing older 9-speed front and rear set-up.

    Just e-mail someone who sells the levers and tell them what you want to use it for to check for compatibility.

    Try:

    http://www.repartocorse.com - they sell 9-speed Veloce ErgoPower for 150 bucks.

    or:

    Even Nashbar is selling the 9-speed Chorus ErgoPower levers for 230 on closeout.

    good luck.
