also for this era we need to keep in mind the conditions of the boom where parts shortages caused frequent substitutions
i'll wager you shall have plenty of bits in your parts bins to make a very fine build here
would expect a pillar size of either 26.2 or 26.4
brake centres will be 56 and 67
original rear spacing 120
forgot to mention above that bottom bracket shell is Agrati "AM" pattern and is item Nr. 000.8507

Yes catalogs and brochures are only good for an approximation at best but the '75 and newer Model 78's I have found pics and brochures for don't have chrome socks on the forks so I'm sticking with '74 for now. Subject to revision, as always LOL and you are correct, I do have an "option or two" in the stash for components but the frame vs. component shuffle starts all over again. No problem though as that's part of the fun for me.
