Must dissagree on a few points:
front der. cable stop type $150. to $225. (bronze arm, screw on pivots)
^
Proper FD for this machine is a rod-operated Grand Sport. About $15 for a nice one, probably $50 for NOS.
#624 cable guide at BB $60 (cable stop LH, tube guide RH)
^
Can get these for $5 at one of the LBS's if I have to, pretty sure they have #624s in addition to some others
Pre Record hubs and skewers, $150 to $250.
^
I traded a front for components about $20 in value.
Spokes, chrome plated Unions $30 per set or more.
^
Spokes are where I draw the line on originality. Use new DT stainless.
Weinmann tubular rims or Schereens (special order option) $100 to $400.
^
They used Weinmann 27" clinchers.
Correct Campy seat post $100
^
I got mine in a trade - paid equivilant to about $25 for it.
Brakeset, $20 to $80 (might take two cheap sets to make up one happy set)
^
$30-150 is more like it for those older, engraved Weinmann 999s.
Shift levers, $20 (eagle eye ebay watching, for correct period)
^
Reminds me - just what IS the differerence between the original Gran Sport (not Nuovo Gran Sport) and NR downtube shifters? They look virtually identical, save for slightly different sizing of the "Patent Campagnolo" lettering.
Shift cables and housing, $20, Campagnolo only.
^
I used teflon-lined Shimano cable in grey. Looks the same period, and nobody knows the difference. Doubt of '70s/'80s Campagnolo cable would look just right either.
BB and cranks used $80, expect to pay $80 to $130 for each chainring if NOS desired.
^
Too low a price, both for a BB/crank combo of the stock, steel Stronglight Competition, or the Record 151's w/BB. Looking at $100-$150 for the Stronglight Competition w/BB; $150-250 for the Record 151's.
NOS cranks doubtful
^
I dissagree. They're available, if you want to add $600 to the mix.
BB set thin cups used good, $80.
^
Campag. Record or Stronglight Competition?
Pedals, Campagnolo, small typography, with strap loops, $125. to $200.
^
Or Lytards for $50-100, if you use the Stronglight Competition crankset.
and one thing you forgot on the list:
Campagnolo Gran Sport RD, correct variant. NOS, $225-$250; used, $50-150.
Take care,
