It is definitely one click/one gear (it doesn't have the ability to sweep across the cassette in one move).

Thanks for the guidance everyone! I'm going to put the group in the Paceline classifieds at the lower end of the suggested range and give it a week or so before moving to ebay with a higher price.

Thanks for the perspectives.

I guess the Dura Ace 7700 is period correct (?) but do you really want to go that route? Those hoods are hard to find when they dry out and need replacing.

Wow! A lot of love for the Campy! But, yeah period correct on a Mapei-paint Colnago is the reason for the desire to move to 7700. I have a nice, clean 7700 groupset that would look great on it. I'm definitely more of a Dura Ace guy than Campy for my "riders". However, I do have classic Campy on a couple of my older bikes that are essentially wall art.

7700 is totally period correct, looks and runs fantastic, and is a great choice if you don't need a compact. I had 7700 on a bike several years ago, and had an FSA inner ring that I think was a 38? Or something like that.
