My obsessive/compulsive personality has taken over and I have already ordered a bottom bracket, headset, front and rear derailleurs, Suntour Barcons, and top tube cable guides, and downtube cable guide for the Colnago. All the parts except the cable guides and Barcons are used and not NOS. The rear derailleur on it was a Super Record and the front had the three holes in the side indicating post-1977. I got the Barcons because I really don't like downtube shifters that much and they were around in the 70's (I used them then).

I rode the bike some last night. It is a good fit. Perhaps 2cm taller would have been perfect (it is 50cm), but the seat doesn't look ridiculously high when it is adjusted for me. The stem already feels like it is the right length. I am not a fan of the handlebars as I usually ride the hoods and these slope down pretty quickly. The handlebars that are on it are Cinelli as is the stem. Would it be a faux pas to change the handlebars out for something more comfortable? The seat is an old Cinelli leather covered thing. It is pretty comfortable, but is showing a lot of wear.

I was thinking about the wheels, since building the wheels is a project I can do over the holidays. The wheelset that came with the bike has Campy hubs. They are low flange, but have curved quick release levers with the script style of lettering. I have read these are post-CPSC. I have another set of wheels that I took off of my Raleigh with the straight levers and block lettering. The front hub is high flange and the rear hub is low flange. I don't know the threading on either set of wheels yet. Both sets are 36h. I could use either of these sets or buy another set of hubs.

Since rims are consumables, do most people source NOS rims made in the 70's are just buy something made recently that looks appropriate like the VO PBP rim? I would prefer clinchers over tubular, even though it was probably raced with tubulars in the 70's. I don't see myself racing on this bike or any other bike.
