I’m currently riding a Pearson’s Touché and for a while now have been saving for a new frame. In the meantime my company signed-up to Evans’ ride-to-work scheme. Didn’t want any of the complete bikes, so bought a crap bike to use for the pub and splashed out on a few new components for the Touché that I could put on a new frame as/when I scrape together enough pennies for it
Alongside a few other bits I picked up a Mavic Ellipse wheelset. After getting the Mavic lockring (why it doesn’t come with the wheels I don’t know...) and an EAI cog, I’ve been looking an new chainsets. A guy at work has a new (’09) Campag Pista chainset, English thread, for sale at a reasonable price
I’ve been thinking about getting it, but am a bit concerned about chain alignment, had a look at the transmission DB but couldn’t find the same set-up. Also I’ve read the Pista BB doesn’t have road seals.
Does anyone have an idea if this combination would work? And are the track BB’s ok for road use?

Saw screaming bike lady for the first time on the New Cross Road last night - what a joy! The noises she makes are somewhere between kittens being drowned and mating foxes...
I get the feeling she may be doing it so car drivers can hear her, but to be honest its far more frightening hearing it on the bike.
