Remember back when Andrew and Lou claimed that ALL campy levers came new with pre-threaded shift wires?

 You will notice that these levers are new and are not prethreaded. I will be waiting for an appology of how I must have bought counterfeit Campy 12 speed levers.
 This is entirely beside the point anyway since the subject was about the reels being easy to damage and no replacement reels available except as part of the replacement lever assembly.
 I no longer use Campy because of this policy so it doesn't matter anymore, But grandiose claims by people should be toned down a great deal. All it does is bring Liebermann, Krygowski and Slocomb out of their little egotistical worlds of believed knowledge to make stupid comments after stupid comment.
 1. Liebermann does not ride bicycles.
2. Slocomb might have ridden bicycles over 20 years ago but not since. He knows nothing at all about bicycle tech.
3. Krygowski rides an old steel touring bike with a 6 speed freewheel and bar end shifters. WHAT is he doing commenting on 12 speed brifters?

The levers look in newish condition and it's the right box but, as shipped, gear wires are pre installed.  Check a new box with the Campagnolo carton seals intact...
