Looks great I love those early Campag rear derailleurs. Play in the BB doesn't sound right though. Without sounding condescending, is the near side BB cone tightened up enough. I'm not sure what make you are using but the old ones always tend to be more awkward than they should be. I always use loose and new quarter inch bearings there not expensive from a good LBS and a ton of grease

Cheers! Not condescending at all, welcome all advice! Tried tightening but don't have a tool thing that fits into the four holes in the face of the cup (it's BW cups and a BW No.15 axle) and there's still some thread spare after fitting the lock ring. Might be a trip to the LBS to borrow the 'spanner' thing.

Half hour shake down. Will put the bar tape on now as the bike’s so comfy. Handles really well, nothing fell off. Shifting’s not quite right but main worry is quite a lot of play in the bb. Has cage bearings in, might be better to pack with lose ones?
