Hi Bill:

For many years campy did not offer components suitable for hybrids... this year and last has seen the introduction of components designed for hybrids and mountain biking... so perhaps campy will get back into these sectors of the bike industry.

I have a cinelli with carbon forks and stays.. it's the unica model.. which is equipped with mostly Chorus 10 speed components.

If campy still made the old Nuovo Record or Super Record groups... that's what I would still use... indexed shifting sucks in my opinion... but... it is the only game in town...

and talk now is how soon before campy and shimano raise the stakes (obsolete a bunch of equip) by going to 12 speed clusters in the rear...

it's actually a perfect example of how company's must continually "innovate" new and "improved" products when they compete in small niche markets... since the markets are so small and are not expanding at any real healthy rate... company's realize that they have to sell each buyer more than one Durace or Record grouppo to stay in biz....

what better way than to raise the stakes and obsolete last years products.... hence, twelve speeds... are not, I predict, too far off into the future.

cheers,

msl
