Andy, GREAT job and a beautiful bike. Gosh.

I also wondered about the shift cable guides. I've recently put my Raleigh Pro back together and was a bit puzzled about the orientation of that guide and where on the the frame to put it. I pulled up alot of images from the old cloud and they all show the Campy guide at the bottom of the DT next to the BB shell. The Campy script is right side up but facing backwards. The side with the two guides (leaves) in line is on the rider's left, guiding the FD cable. That long leaf ensures that the cable goes just past the seat tube and does not rub the paint It also appears that the lower tip of the 'diamond shape' in the center of the clamp body is supposed to be up against the BB shell to help prevent the clamp from slipping down due to cable pressure. I also noticed that between the two guide leaves on that left side is a small tap. Looks like that tap rests on the BB shell to also stabilize the clamp in operation.

BUT this one is all the cable guides I've ever installed so PLEASE someone correct us if we're wrong. I gotta lot to learn.
