Shimano friction shifters will work with a Campagnolo rear cassette, won't they? Because it's friction, there's no indexing, it should work exactly the same.
Sure I'd love to have indexed shifters but Campag indexed shifters are expensive as FUCK. The cheapest brifters I could find were like £45 for the pair. And I couldn't really find any indexed downtube ones - they were all braze-on, and I need band-on. And they were fucking expensive anyway.
Why the FUCK doesn't my bike use a fucking Shimano hub and cassette when Shimano replacement cassettes and third-party compatible shifters are cheap as fuck. FUCK MY LIFE.
