I'm replicating this to maximise my chances of a solution before leaving

Somewhat ironic I should find this conference a couple of weeks before I leave 
Digital ...
Anyway, I have a Raleigh Dynatech 625Ti with Suntour SL 16 speed.  (It's a road 
bike.  A '93 model   sold off at reduced price this summer - you must have seen 
the adverts in Cycling).  Now that it's all of 3 months old, I'd like to 
upgrade it with Ergo-type levers.  Does anyone know of this being done 
successfully, and the details?

The guy in the shop stated categorically that:
	It won't work with Shimano STI levers,
	It will work with Campag levers.  Stratos would be OK but Veloce would 
be better (i assume he's in favour of Veloce from a quality and feel point of 
view rather than from any difference in compatibility).

Of course, I'd prefer to be able to buy cheap Veloce levers by mail order than 
pay full price at the shop and since, in any case, I bought the bike 100 miles 
from home, even taking it back to complain/get adjustments would be a pain if I 
did get them to do it. 

TIA
