BB confirmed as British thread as are the Campagnolo Hubs.

It's a very nice bike and I'm a sucker for Campagnolo / Cinelli components. Having what looks like a 1983 50th anniversary groupset is the real icing on the cake. Personally, it's a REALLY desirable set of components although not everyone cares for the 50th gruppo. I think the original owner probably used Campagnolo decals to highlight the 50th components - If it was mine and I was reconditioning the frame and I couldn't use/source original decals, I would also consider just using Campy decals too. I really hope it's a Reynolds Pro frame as well.
