Good luck friction shifting 10 gears! And you don't get any pedals! Where are the Campy retro pedals?

Friction shifting 10sp is easier and faster then friction shifting 5/6/7 speed. I like me some tubulars but high quality clinchers in 2020 are simply incredible and better than any tubie made 40 years ago, yes an FMB is marginally better than a boutique clincher but since most won't splash out for $220 plus shipping for an FMB nor the $160 for the RH boutique clinchers and that's not to mention you need three of the FMB's..Modern chit is just better no matter the qualifications you put on them.
I love throwing modern stuff on old boutique chit but lets not kid ourselves on what modern v old is I'm not interested in bleed down oiling, adjusting points, or having a choke on anything I drive every day and I'm not interested in unpinned and ramped chainrings or cassettes nor am I interested in corncobs w53/42
