Saddle is slightly later than original, but not a major thing.
Thats good to know about the chain, I was going to look for a replacement!!!! I started another thread in regards to the seat. I know where a NOS Unica-Nitor is and i'm going to try an acquire it over the weekend (assuming its the proper model).

I used spoke calc and it spit out '306' but 304's certainly are possibly dpending on the ERD. The red label Fiammes I'm using have the largest ERD of any tubular rim!!!
A few rnadom pics. I'm almost done with. A few things to take care:
1. Bar tape. I'm going to use balck cloth and its getting tapped upto the center section just as it was when new.
2. Bearings. I repacked the BB with loose balls and they rattle when the crank is spun. I'll score some OE Campy's in cages from Ebay.
3. Seat. Discussed above.
4. Pedals. I have the OE black Campys with the OE straps and cages.
5. Lug work. The lugs will be outlined in black as it was when new. At the moment I'm still trying to find a 'pin stripper'.
Some random pics:
Cinelli, Campagnolo and Paramount. The headbadge is held on with double sided tape. It'll be coming off agian and I want to preserve the OE screws.
Campy hub, Fiamme red label and DT's:
