Ahh, yesss... for those strong enough to pedal but too weak to shift.

"It seems pretty official--Campagnolo will come out with an electronic Record gruppo in 2005. We've been reporting on Campagnolo's efforts to come up with electronic shifting for some time, but this is the first time we know of that their top-secret efforts have seen the light of day."

So my question is...is Campy trying to prove to Mavic that it CAN be done (reliably), or do they just want to be the first component manufacturer to release a $3,000 gruppo?
