The first Campy Ergo shifters -- 7 or 8 speed?

[Larry Coon]

Does anybody know whether the first Campy Ergo
levers (1992, I believe) were 7 or 8 speed?

Thanks for any info.

8 speed, but, unlike with shimano, the cog spacing was the same as 7,
so they could be used with a 7 spd freewheel.

Thanks, Baird. I thought they pre-dated 8-speed, so
I incorrectly listed them as 7-speed on eBay.
