What bothered me (only a little) when I refurbished my Witcomb, is that I could not have a full campag groupset because of the centre pull brakes (I did not want to shave off the centre pull bridge), and Campagnolo never made centre pull... (delta qualifies as centre pull? even if they do they don't need a bridge...)
So apparently what was common (I was told) at the centre pull times, was to have a campag groupset with a weinman or mafac set of brakes. I'd agree with Ed on Mafac being nicer. Although Weinman did real nice drilled levers...
In the case of your bridge, if you keep it working with a shimano quick release (assuming shimano only was doing it), you have to mix shimano and campag, which I ended up doing at the end...
