The bike looks great. I've enjoyed watching this frame go from its auction on ebay to its final build. The decals turned out great so the goofs you mentioned must not be too obvious. Now I want to replace the decals on my Montello. Can't help you on the shifters, my Nuovo Record shifters fit just fine. Did you put the thin washer between the outer cone shaped/recessed top cover and the "wing nut" screw? Maybe the screw is bottoming out? Sounds like we're lusting for the same panto'ed parts on ebay as well. Lost an auction for a nice pantographed stem recently by $1.00 because I didnt watch the end of auction. My bike is complete but Im not satisfied with the Cinelli Champion Del Mondo bars. I just dont like the deep drop. Looking for some 44-46 wide Giro d'Italia bars without cable grooves. Unfortunately I am unable to test ride my bike since I suffered a tibial plateau fracture in March. Im still on crutches and can only rotate the pedals back and forth from the 11:00 to 4:00. Physical therapy is getting my motion back though.

Here's my latest pics...
