It's all wierd isn't it. Campag change the design of their shifters so they look big, ugly and more like Shimano, Shimano change theirs so they are smaller and more ergomic like Campag.

Bring on the discounted sale prices of 2007/08 Campag kit I say so I can stock up.

Looking at it all from an engineers point of view, all that comes to mind is Mmmmmmmm nice.

Can anybody tell me why they dont run cables inside the bars? or has it been tried in the past?

[Andrew G]

I'd guess it's to do with either having tight turns in the cables, or probably more likely and important, weakening the bars with holes drilled in them close together. That's probably a question for an engineer though .

Also how many holes do you drill and where do you put them to cover different manufacturers shifters and where people may want them mounted on the bar?

Pre-integrated levers when it was just a brake lever (downtube/bar-end shifters) they did run the cables inside the bars. You also often run the cables in the bars on TT bikes as the shifters and brake levers are separate.
