Are there manufactured prebuilt tribikes with campy. I looking for some winter deals and all I find are prebuilt bikes with shimano.
I would love to have campy on both, my road bike is campy but want to take advantage of some of the deals on 2006 bikes.

Call me a whacko, but I think Orbea and Gita’s distributed bikes both have campy options. Of course all your favorite online and local bike shops can buy frames and parts kits from nearly every tri-bike maker and build whatever you want.
Yes but you end up pay more then a prebuilt bike? I would like a cervelo p2c,p3c or Kuota Kalibur and pay around $2500 (no wheels).
I think ebay will end up my only option.
You’re not going to find what you’re looking for.
But…
To make a tri bike “campy”, all you need are the bar end shifters and the derailleurs (assuming you have the wheels). Depending on the groupset you choose, it will probably be less than $300 to convert.
I would think front and rear derailleurs, bar end shifter maybe new cables, would be alot more then $300. Also would I need new cranks?
Depends on what level you want. I put Campy on my TT bike with Centaur FD, Chorus RD and Record shifters. Total was ~250. Then I found a carbon crank for $100.
Well, you don’t necessarily need the Campy front derailleur since the front campy lever is friction - not indexed. I use the FSA derailleur for compacts. You also don’t need to replace the cranks. My tri bike has campy shift levers and a Centaur rear derailleur, everything else is FSA and Cane Creek.
Thank you for the info

cervelo had some campy bikes in 05. not sure that they were there for the tri bikes, though.
i’d be surprised if some of the italian tt bikes out there aren’t campy (bianchi, pinarello, etc.) and gurus have options with centaur or record (although not chorus, if i understood their website).
but if you’re looking for economical solutions, all this info might not be useful.
it’s a shame, i love the centaur stuff on my soloist.

My son had a P3SL this year. It came with the usual Shimano/FSA Cervelo build kit. His road bike was Campy and our disc was Campy and Zipp couldn’t get their act together on a Shimano freehub body, so we changed the shifters and rear derailleur, used a set of Campy wheels and everything was fine. Don’t worry about the cranks or front derailleur. Campy is very forgiving of other brands in those areas.
