Jon and list members, I used Campy for 28 yrs and couldn't ask for any better, untill, I rode a bike with Mafac Comps. All these years I had dodged them like they were spreading germs. I quickly bought up 3 sets on Ebay. On my Grand Record I have full Mafac, on my Le Champ and Team Champion I have Mafac Competition levers and Campy Calipers. I know the Campy levers have a better ratio then Mafac, but, my hands are big and they are crunched up on Campy and relaxed on the Mafacs. The best mixed breed would be opposite of what I have.
