My ugly yellow Grand Record motobecane (which yesterday completed a double metric century, with 8000' of climb!) has a campy front der. With the dura'ace 9 speed drive train, I went with a 48-34 setup, and the campy shifts perfectly. I did mount a new crane long cage rear (not shown) and it really shifts nicely.
