I think MrMister meant to imply that it just felt wrong, not so much that it was a problem functionally. I must admit, I get a nice warm feeling inside from knowing that I have Campag fitted on my Fondriest; it feels right.
That's exactly it. I'm sure it would function perfectly, I just wouldn't have the same warm feeling as you describe. A bit like going for sushi and having a Heineken with it.
That said, what Anidel may have been alluding to was that Gianni Bugno/Gatorade rode these bikes with Shimano, so if you wanted to make an exception you could?
