As an addendum, I'm going to add that the campy compact cranks are going to be mailed back to performance tomorrow for an exchange. They've been a bit marred by this experience and one of the bolts is stripped, so back they go and I should get a new set in a week or two from performance.

If you guys think it's the right part, then I'll order that 'combined' FD from PBK and go to the LBS for the braze on adapter.

Sound about right?

Thanks for all your help guys, I really really appreciate it. I was so excited about this build and I'm a little bummed now, but I'm looking forward to things working out well.

I'm just really glad this problem didn't start while I was racing over the weekend. That could have been disasterous...
