1982 Colnago Super

I'd thought about that - it would certainly eliminate the need for a headset converter. Will modern levers work correctly with the narrower-diameter bars? Might there be some hood looseness?

Someone cleverer will likely be able to confirm but as far as I know the clamp size on the actual bar is the same. The only issue I had recently was finding out that SRAM levers don't fit awfully well to Cinelli Criterium bars. Nothing to do with the clamp, just the shape of the bar curve meant the levers stuck out sideways. They work perfectly well with the more square shape of the Campione Del Mondo though:

Nice wheels. How is your experience with the Novatecs compared to that with more expensive hubs? The impression I get is that the law of diminishing returns applies rather steeply to hubs.

No practical experience as yet. I chose them partly on aesthetic grounds and partly on the recommendation of Harry Rowland who built the wheels. On Harry's website: "I have been using these hubs since 2001 and they are always the hub I would recommend. They are now available in 28, 32 & 36 hole and in both Shimano & Campag and are not expensive. Do not, however, be put off by the low price as the hub is of very good quality."
