I am hot and heavy into the refurb of my Eddy Merckx. I had a new Super Record headset put on earlier this week, and have purchased a number of Campy items on eBay, including cranks and chain rings, front and rear derailleurs, and a pair of Campy C Record friction shifters.
While I am waiting for these items to arrive, I seem to recall back when I was riding, the index shifting systems were starting to making their mark. I believe the system I am replacing is one of the Shimano 600 indexed systems, set and forget! Move the lever, hear the click and the shift would occur thereafter.
Am I correct in assuming that friction shifting is the old way, that these Record components are friction based parts, the derailleurs will be friction based like the shifters?
