Is Campagnolo still making a triple Athena group? I found their 2015 documents on the site with the front and rear derailleurs and crankset. With Campagnolo there is no special/different shift lever needed for triples or doubles. Unlike Shimano. Does Campagnolo have a triple for 2016 and 2017?

actually the "carbon" ones are easier-cheaper to manufacture..
for the alloy levers, they have to polish and anodize the surface, and they use alloy paddles for the changer behind the levers as well.
for the "carbon", they just stick a decor-carbon layer upon a non-finished alloy lever and use plastic paddles.

I thought these were the same things, and with cross-compatibility.
Thanks.
Its possible that particular parts are special offers
But, noone knows where you are talking about.
Mention what you want
Mention what you've seen
Mention prices

Oh, its Mr Awkward again.
Plenty of people who come on here don't bother giving a location - like you - so mentioning a particular retail offer is pretty pointless. The carbon ones are coming in cheaper at a number of retailers in the UK, when one would have thought that they were the premium product.
Or do you think that for some reason I am lying about the fact that I have seen the carbon ones cheaper than the alloy ones ... at a number of retailers?

I see Ribble has the "carbon" levers on clearance, and cheaper than the black ones. Only they could tell you why.
Internally these shifters are identical, it's only cosmetics. I note that the brake levers are not actually carbon, they are alloy wrapped.
Campy lists "carbon", black, and alloy versions all at the same weight.

There's sometimes a buggy.
How many drivers does a buggy have?
One.
So let's just say I'm drivin' this buggy...
and if you fix your attitude you can ride along with me.

Thanks. That's what I was kind of thinking.
There has only been one iteration of Athena 11 speed, so not as if I should encounter any compatibility issues whatever levers I go for.
