after building a few modern bikes, i randomly bid on an auction for an '84 Ciocc, and won. I am straight-up stealing this idea from a guy i rode with a while back who had a vintage DeRosa with a carbon fork.

i was hoping you guys could pass on some advice.

the frame has Columbus SLX, 126mm rear spacing, 27.2 seatpost, 1" threaded headset, Italian threaded BB, Downtube shifter braze ons.

what i'd like to do is build this up with 2010 Campy parts, i guess using downtube shifter adapters. Carbon fork, handlebars with internal cable routing, modern wheelset, etc. the seller said that the headset is "a little rough" so i'm going to replace that too.

So, a few questions:

(1) if i am changing the fork and headset, can i convert the whole thing to threadless? (or might a threadless headset look bad on an old frame?)

(2) the BB - will there be any problem fitting modern BB cups/cranks?

(3) it's got some rust. I was planning on cleaning it however i can, and spraying FrameSaver into the frame. anything else i should do? what would you do to clean this frame?

(4) i have read about cold-setting the rear triangle for a 130mm wheel. Many posts seem to say that it's fine to force the wheel in, so long as you're careful about alignment. the easy answer is to bring it to a shop, but generally the shops around me look at me like i'm nuts if i ask for anything out of the ordinary. thoughts?
