camapag flat bar shifters

I'm thinking of finally losing the drop handlebars on my tourer and
moving to a flat bar : I will this lose my chorus ergopwer shifters
which drive a "racing t" 9 speed set up with triple front ring.

I think the only option I have if I want to keep the campag derailleurs
is to use campag flat bar shifters : can anyone comment on quality and
reliablity of these preferably with a comparison to the traditional ergo
levers.

Be sure to get some bar-ends for more hand positions.

I have the Shimano flat bar shifters- Ultegra - on an FSA 53-39-30 and
also an XTR 13-34 cassete. The levers are rapid fire

I realize this is not Campy, but so far so good and that includes a
coast to coast ride.

Enjoy

Why would you want to not have drop handlebars anymore? That makes no sense
to me.

I dont recall asking about why I should move to flat bars

But for what its worth - I simply dont ever use the drops, tend to coast
with my hands on the hood of the ergo levers and have developed hand
problems from that. In addition I find the drop parts a pain when
locking close to a fence - you cant thread the drop bars through gaps.

You could get some moustache bars, keep using your drop bar levers on
them and get more hand positions than a basic flat bar. Don't know how
they would be for shifting being horizontal and all.
