Old campag shifters on this years Tdf TT bikes

[thiscocks]

Was surprised (and quite pleased) to see some good old 9 speed campag shifters on the end of the Canyon and Colnago bikes. Looks like they are using a 9 speed cassette with 11 speed mech.

Goes to show, who needs 11 speed!?

And track rear fork ends....

Nothing new on a TT bike, specialist UK frame builders were doing that in the 70's with a brazed on gear hanger below. It allows wheels to be fitted on a very short rear end. It's now very common on 'modern' TT bikes.

Anyone know where to get those black shifter covers on the top pic? Quite like them

apparently the disk wheels will only accommodate a campag ghibli 9 speed cassette, so hence the 9 speed shifters. The ghibli cassette is current catalogue stock, not retro stuff
