For Sale: Limited Edition Campagnolo Red Record Professional Shifters

FOR SALE: Limited Edition Campagnolo Red Professional Ergopower Shift Levers. These levers are taken from the limited edition Record groupset. This is your chance to grab a new, in-box, set of Campagnolo Red Ergo Shift Levers; One of only 600 being offered outside the pro ranks. These are rare and you are almost certainly going to be the only person on your Saturday morning ride sporting a pair. Tweaked to a Pro's touch, these were, up until recently, only available to professional riders. They have a more positive feel, with shifts that engage earlier, with less sweep overall, and red graphics in the spirit of great Italian racing machines.

Cost is $650 for the set. The only way to get these otherwise, if you can, is to buy a complete groupset from the few places that have them. The only difference between a Red Label Pro group and a standard Record groupset is the shifters.

Competetive Cyclist offered these up and they sold out immediately. eBay prices are starting to push up close to $700/set. Buy now as the value on these is going up as they become increasingly less available.
