Roto was cheap OMAS was fine.
Campag Ti Spindle BBs were subject to failure then too.
FWIW Cinelli had an aluminum wedge bolt in their 1R stem at least there is no little rusty hex socket on top of it.
One of the bikes I recently picked up had some Roto components. Campy knockoff, but felt very light when I took them off.
