I had Campy Chorus on my go-fast bike I sold a few years ago, and it is absolutely the best gruppo I have ever used. Would use it again in a minute if given half a chance. Easy shifting, fit my hands well, a huge improvement for me over Shimano Ultegra, which I had before.
I have bar-end shifters now due to the V-brakes on my Bike Friday (which is set up as a touring bike), and I like them fine, but I do miss my Campy. It was like "butta".![]()

Have been using Campagnolo components since 1992. I have to say that I have not use any other brand in regular basis and my opinions may be biased.
1) Campagnolo currently produce 11 speed group and 10 speed group:
Super Record, Record, Chours, Athena = 11 speed
Centaur, Veloce, Mirage = 10 speed
2) People say Campagnolo Veloce = Shimano 105 = Sram Rival , Centaur = Ultegra = Force, Chorus = Dura Ace = Red, and Record is in the league of his own.
You can buy Veloce group from England for about US$522 + $25 shipping from:

But you still need a new rear wheel or hub body though.
