Then there's the Mariposa, which will have bar-cons on both sides....
I feel your pain! At one point a few years ago, I had five bikes with four different shifting systems (Shimano Brifters, Campy Ergopower, Shimano mtb rapid-fire shifters, and barcons). Definitely confusing! Now I'm down to just two as the first two bikes have since been sold since I don't ride as much as I used to.
