The perfected version, Campy's Paris-Roubiax system only needed 1 lever,
it works quite well, takes about 50 yards for me to make a shift.
And for weight weenies it does weigh less. If it was good enough for
Fausto, it is good enough for me. Plus it is a gas to ride.
I figure a Seven set up for brazed on center pulls and a P-R mech
would be the bomb.
