Chorus is superior in every way IMHO and cheaper too. Yea, right! :-) Unfrotunately I have 2 other bikes with Shimano which my brain has successfully adapted to use. It would be forever confused with the Campy levers that work backwards and require your thumb! Haven't we all evolved to the point of having an opposable thumb? Ron |

You might consider a compact crank instead of a triple. It will give you low gears. |
