My statement was forward looking, but yes campy, microshift and others will be perfectly fine with me if Shimano continues with their current US vs. Europe price disparity and also shuts down international distribution or parallel imports. Although I'm sure I will still be able to get whatever shimano replacement parts I need from German retailers who will be happy to fill the void when the British retailers stop shipping to the US. Shimano's pricing strategy has only been tolerable because prices are still low on complete bikes and replacement parts are easily available from international retailers. If that's not true anymore, I just won't buy shimano. Pretty sure the only sram part I've ever had on one of my bikes was a grip-shift on my mountain bike in the late 90's.
