Not hoping to re-open the age old Campy/Shimano war; just a simple question...
I am shopping (eBay, etc.) for upgrades for my "antique" (late 1970s) 10-speed, which is already a 21-speed. Many of the ads refer to the Campy shifters as "for a double" or "for a triple" but it was my understandding that Campy used a ratcheting system that made double vs. triple moot, facilitates compatibility with Shimano front derailers, and allows trimmming.
Were early 7-speed and 8-speed Campy brifters less universal?

Yep, Ergoshifters are double and triple FD compatible. --

No such thing as a Campagnolo 7s 'brifter' and yes, from the first day of ERGO they can shift a double or triple FD.
