campagnolo / shimano / shimagnolo / scampy

[Brent Eastman]

I'm riding with a faster group lately, and while my superbe pro downtube shifters work perfectly fine, I am brifter curious.

My roadini is setup 3x9. 

ultegra 6603 front and 6500 long cage rear derailers.

Which Campagnolo brake/shift levers do folks recommend? And what would be an appropriate price range to expect to pay?

I would be happy switching to 2x9 if that gives me better options.

Also, if you have a set for sale, let's talk!

I'm wondering why you're chasing Campagnolo shifters when your derailleurs are Shimano. It used to be that you could mate Campagnolo 11s shifters with Shimano 9s derailleur and cassette and get good indexed shifting (I ran that combination for several years from about 2010 onwards), but Campagnolo changed their 11s cable pull around 2015, so you'd need pre-2015 Campagnolo shifters for that combination to work. If you want Shimano 9s integrated brake/shifter levers, I think they still make Sora 2x9 and 3x9 shifters, otherwise you're looking at NOS or 2nd hand for the higher level stuff. Microshift also make Shimano-compatible 2x9 and 3x9 integrated road shifters.
