gear question to you mechanical geniuses!

No. You can still pick your cassette range and chainring options within a group. Though you are limited to 39-53 double or a 34-50 compact double in chainrings. 10-speed cassette options are:

11-25, 12-23, 12-25, 13-26, 13-29, 14-23

And I don't see why you couldn't mix some Veloce components with another Campy group, or perhaps even some Shimano parts if you wanted to.

oh, no, Deb, you're going over to the dark side now!! lalalalalalala


but thank you kindly for answering the question. maybe next spring. hmmmmmmmmm
