Managed to find a decent donor bike cheap, so 9 speed Campagnolo will be the way forward. Chorus F/R derailleurs and Veloce BB/Cranks/Ergos/Hubs. Rims are Mavic MA3s. Pedals are Kyokuto Pro Vic II. Cinelli 1A stem and Cinelli Top Ergo 64 bars. Frogleg brakes with slimline Koolstop pads. I was already ordering bolts to attach the cantis to the frame, so grabbed some cheap Ti M3x15x0.5 bolts to act as drop out adjusters.
I have a Turbo Special that I find really comfortable so that will go on the bike, just need to do something about the seatpost. This 26.4 seems a little to easy to fit, so I tried a 27.0 and 26.8 and they were no good. Stedlocks got back to me and said he had previously used a 26.4, so I guess that's the route I'll go, but I am very tempted to try a 26.6.
I guess I need some Nitromors to get the seatpost silver again.
