I installed a new Pista on a Chorus 111mm symmetrical yesterday, and it measures fine.
The lack of weather sealing makes the Record Pista BB an iffy choice for road use. If you rummage around there is a 111mm Record Strada, now discontinued I believe. Think if you dig through the Campag spares pdfs You can find the road seals and stick them in the Pista BB.
The Campagnolo site states that the Record Pista BB is asymmetrical, but there is plenty of anecdotal evidence to the contrary.
Check the Transmission Database (that's what it's there for!) and search the forum, I'm pretty sure this has come up before.
Make sure you know which Centaur BB you're buying. The "superlight" (hollow axle) Centaur is black, and fits with internally splined cups. The cheap one is silver and uses the externally notched cups.
Black one is worth about £30 or so, silver half that.
