Thanks. I fiddled with it a while, have it where I want it, and period-correct, with tubulars.

... black tires for the win! ... you don't see those grey campy parts very often...

When the red tires wear out, they're gone, and I'll go back to GP4000S. I ran the full-size crankset with polished rings, but finally found a NOS Centaur compact crankset in full Century Grey, so that's what is on there now. Piecing together the Century Grey took a while.

... i believe that... i had a plan to build up a bike with grey campy but gave up after 1 year of part hunting... it's easier to find complete c-record groups...

Let me start by saying this looks amazingly clean for such a vintage bike.
So I bought this same frame (not in the same condition) off CL, Been wanting to make it into a classic fixed bike, what BB do you suggest? thanks

I'd get an Origin8 cartridge in Italian thread, or so with a small (103-107mm) Shimano Italian threaded.....
