Shortly after buying the frame, and gaining an appreciation of how nice the frame is, I began to experience delusions of grandeur by having the frame professionally refinished and hanging sweet Campy jewelry all around. I talked with Ed Litton who specializes in Bianchi restorations who said that I was looking at around $600 to have the frame restored right. Judging by prices on EB, it was probably going to cost 400-600 for the Campy. Needless to say, I've since come back down to earth, especially after finding the crack, and would now just like to put a solid group on it that would match the quality of the frame without being a show-pony. Anyway, I figure if I had spent that much money refinishing the frame, I would be afraid to touch it afterwards.

The frame did come with those brakes, and thank you for IDing them. That's a start. I bought some Kool Stop pads for them and they work really well. They are definitely going back on the bike.

The cranks that came with it are Shimano 600 and are pretty worn. I don't know if they're original.

I also bought a set of Mavic Open Pro rims. Unfortunately they are both 36H. I think I'm going to try to find 1 matching 32H for the front. But buying the hubs is going to drive the rest of the group. It will be Campy or Shimano after that.
