I am thinking of building up a crossmuter type bike, using the Campagnolo Flar Bar Ergo brifters.
Has anyone used the Flat Bar components extensively? Comments?

Also, apparently the brifters require a dedicated Campa Flat Bar front derailleur. Is this absolutely true?

Finally, I will use an old Campa Euclid crankset I have here. 110 bcd. What chainrings would you recommend, for general, all-purpose street and dirt road riding? 38/48?

Has nobody here used these?
I thought they were quite popular in Europe.
Comments? Thoughts?

wrong flavour of forum perhaps, try the commuter bunch over at bikeradar.com forums perhaps... they're a more varied bunch without LWs on the brain.
