I am building up an fine Italian steel frame and want to use Campagnolo, but find the quick release on my 105 brakes on my Trek 1.7 very handy. I can't see from pics whether Campagnolo have this. (I am going for Xenon-Centaur stuff now, as I have overspent on the Italian bling)

    IIRC the Campagnolo have the "QR" on the lever end.

    You recall correct.

    This means Campag brakes only really work well (in the getting wheel out sense) with Campag shifters,. but Shimano do fine with both Ergos and STIs

    One advantage of the Campag QR system is that if you forget to re-set it the brake will work as normal. With Shimano it gets interesting...
