I ended up just filing down the mounting nut and it fit in fine. Better to mess up filing a nut than a fork after all.

I also couldn't shim the seatpost as it was just too much smaller than the seat tube, so I picked up a cheapy alloy post. I biked to cyclepath to pick it up without a seat or seatpost and everybody in the store asked me if they got stolen, heh.

I tried switching over my GS strada double cranks to the pinarello as well, but stupidly I just checked to see that the BB was campy, and ignored the fact that the spindle was severely too short for the cranks. I do still have the GS strada bb though so eventually I may install it and the cranks for a wicked classic italian look.

Taking the bike out for a test ride I want to keep it myself. Its got the most awesome geometry; its really poised and responsive and just a joy to ride. I now know why everyone is crazy about italian steel.

pics on the way once I get my camera over here.
