Ok, first of all - if your closet is getting crowded, I'm happy to help by supplying my personal fed ex number Richard...
Secondly, if Campagnolo ever really gets electronic shifting off the ground and it becomes an industry standard (do we get electronic pedaling in the hills then?) I wonder if 5 speed, downtube friction shifting will be as much of an arcane mystery to those future cyclists as the old cambio and paris roubaix systems are to many people now?
