Yes, the VXGT works very well too

Here's a nice Campy RD timeline

I think i might just download those two first posters for my basement bike cave. While it might have a treadmill and eliptical for the wife its first and foremost a place for preparing to crush dreams in the spring. At least thats what i tell myself.

Jehro Tull I think.
Old Campag brakes are poor in todays world. In 1977, they were good, not
so good now.

Try some new tech, step away from your old, outdated Eddy wannabe
gear. Fold up that wool Faema jersey, you are not worthy.

I recall walking by something like this in Berkeley, CA in the window of a local bike shop. Or maybe it was Shimano...

Cool either way!

While Campy components are probably the best they've ever been (I can't comment as a Shimano user), their ads are not. The only cycling ads that are worse are the Cateye ones with the mustachioed hairdresser and the lady in the gold catsuit.

Suntour probably did shift a hair better than Campy at that point - late '60s Suntour derailleurs would be easy to set up with indexing, which is why Shimano needed their patent to run out. But Campy revolutionized braking with their side pulls.
