The thing is. Those silly looking thumb shifters of Campag. Are all kinds of awesome.
They allow you to grip the drops solidly, With just the tip of the thumb on the lever, when sprinting. Thus allowing you to dump half of the cassette With very little hand movement.
They allow you to stay on the tops when cresting a Climb, and shift up With Your little finger.
