So in that case wouldn't you agree that, taking the crankset chosen already, a campy sp would have been the choice, and never a nitto, or a bloody kalloy!?
With that crankset, the matching C-Record post would be optimum, my point was not that Nitto or Kalloy would be best, just that either would be less bad than the Thomson.
As others have criticised the stem choice as well, it is agreed that a Cinelli is the only proper choice for a Campag equipped British bike, but it also seems from the set up that it could have had a Cinelli, notwithstanding the rarity of good 2As. A 1A, which is readily available, dropped right down, would give an almost identical position to the current angled stem which is pulled an inch up out of the steerer.
