Re:
Really love Retro TTs bikes, so can't wait to see how this one progresses. It looks like you've made a good start.
I can definitely echo Midlife's advice about the BB axle. I had to use a Campagnolo Record 68-S-120 axle to give me just enough clearance for a 53 Chainring on my '78 Emperor Sport...
Keep the build up pics coming!

Re:
On the subject of BBs...
If it’s long enough with my pista cranks and 57t ring. It was too long on the setup I used to use it on, so it’s been sat unused. Needs new cups though, fixed cup was cross threaded by a previous owner, and the other is a bit mashed from tool slips.

Re:
Also, some rims. I daresay they’ll be a bit flexy, but they should look the part...
For the stem, it has to be a 1A for me, but I have this (also very nice) 3TTT, which I will use for now.
Pedals. I bought these MKS track ones with black plates on eBay, also about a tenner, bargain. Hopefully they will smarten up a bit. The bearings seem good. They should look the part from a distance.

Re:
For the bars, I’m thinking these, I don’t want to ride old bars in anger, and I don’t want cable grooves. Shame, as I like the modern Cinelli bars.
