Great thread, iab! I will definitely do this for my next build.
I don't have another Cinelli pouch to trade for that, but I do like that pouch. What's it made of (especially the strap), and what would you like for it? What do they sell for?
What seat post diameter will you need? I have a small collection.

. I really only want a black one, the red is an excellent second choice.No worries about the seatpost, I'm good with what I have.
On a separate note, I tried the new seat on the old bike, very comfortable.
The brakes.

It's 13-26 and this old man caved and got a compact (50/34). Barlow Road on a 39/27 makes me weep.

My Mondonico (that's the one that has the brakes you found for me --thks again!) has 13-29 and a 53/39 - I'm thinking of a compact on that now. I'm usually good (well, I survive!) on the hills, but I plan to do more in Northern Michigan next season, possibly Fred's Traverse City area hilly ride.

You do know "peddles" is a verb synonymous with "sells," and has nothing to do with feet or "pedals?"
I.e, someone peddled you those pedals.
I'm being forced to find a peddler of cross tubulars for some winter rides.

Y'know... all this campy stuff is makin' me wonder what you're gettin' at here.
But, considering the tubulars I can hazard a guess that you're not building up a Brevet/Randonneur bike. Century racer perhaps?

Called the bike shop where I ordered the frame yesterday. The owner was out, I left a message, I never heard back.
Called the shop today. The phone has been disconnected.
Called my CC company. I'll get credited the $ in 2 days.
Called GVH bikes. Tom is way cool, but the frame may not come in until March.

Yikes! Not cool - what is going on? Scam, or a shop going under? How well do you know the shop?

Ital Tecno out of New York. I bought my last frame from them, the rims in this thread and some other small bits over the years. I suspect they went out of business, the economy is nasty out there. Also, it wasn't the full price, only a deposit and the CC company has already credited my account, it is now their problem.
I tried my LBS but he doesn't carry the brand and didn't want to do a minimum order. Tom at GVH has one coming, didn't even want a deposit. He just wrote my name down and said I have dibs.
