Chain line...
I recently swapped out my bike big time and, with the new 2005 Campy Record crank mated to the original BB, the chain line has REALLY changed. It looks like I'm 7+- mm off to the outside (I'm running a 113).
Now, here's the kicker...I really don't mind having access to the smaller cogs in the back when on my 39, but given my chainstays shortened up 2+cm with the frame swap, am I looking at any possible trouble in the future? I 'm able to get onto the big cog in back from the 39 w/o any excess noise.

I'd be a little surprised if your front derailer still works properly.
There are inexpensive replacements for the proper 102mm Campag bb.
Any bb with a JIS taper will make the spindle act 5mm longer, since the crankarm won't press on as far.
