I recently happened upon the frame referenced in this thread:

https://www.bikeforums.net/classic-vintage/423579-paletti-id-help.html

(no slagging on my seat angle: I was breaking in the Brooks and I always think they feel better for the first few hundred miles when set like that)

After riding it fixed for a bit now, I think it's telling me that it wants to have gears. It was originally set up with Super Record cica 1984. I am inclined to grab one of these campy gruppo/wheelsets sets here:

Will the group please share it's collective wisdom as to what sort of things could go wrong in building the bike up with that (much newer) group? I've never done a conversion like this, and I'd like to avoid buying things that won't work.

Rear dropout spacing?
Will the new campy bb style work on older frames?
Are brazed derailleur hangers a standard size?

I am sure there are a zillion other things I am not thinking of. I appreciate your advice!

(edited for the proper group link)

Any idea what the BB threading is? Italian?

Obviously you'll have to re-space the rear triangles.

It's an Italian bike running a campy BB, so I assume it's Italian.

DMF 

I presume you'll want new brifters? Brake pull ratio might be something to check.

quietglow

Yeah, I'm intending to use the ergo levers of what ever group I go with. So if I stay with a matched caliper/brifter set, I should be set right?

DMF 

Only if the mounting bolt/hole is in the same place.

Hole for calipers? A set of brifters and calipers designed for a road bike should more or less fit any normal mid-size fork/bars right? If it makes any difference, I dropped a set of Modolo brakes on with zero problem.
