My first ever bike-building project... enthusiastic, but partially confused...
It's a Columbus SLX frame w/o a fork, and I intend to get a carbon one (reason being that in my last thread I was convinced it'd be better to get a carbon fork and 700c wheels to have more choice -- do the carbon forks that take 27" wheels even exist?).
The steerer tube is 22 cm long (and diameter is 1"), and it's a 63cm frame -- how long of a fork do you think I need? For example, would this one be okay:

Also, I was told by the previous owner that the frame requires an Italian ITA 70mm bottom bracket -- any recommendations there? Anything I should know? Would something like this be fine (or necessary?):

And would I HAVE TO use a 10-speed setup if I got this bb? (I suppose I wouldn't have to get everything Dura Ace.)
Or maybe this one:

Will appreciate any help you can offer.
