Looking good
My own set up but using a tri rig brake to tidy things up a bit in this area

Then there is this angle where the cable feeds into a rather naughty bit…….

I would have liked to have been there to listen to the conversation planning the details of the paint, I'm sure it was funny as hell. 100% Spot On

Cable routing through the bottom bracket to the front mech and rear brake has been a challenge, after a few unsuccessful attempts a successful solution was found.
Nissen in Japan makes stainless steel flat wire wound old school brake and shift cable that is very flexible that will make the bends required with radius to spare.
The plan is to use two 12 inch sections of the Nissen cable spliced using Jagwire back to back ferrules that will allow sensible routing without undue stresses and place the back to back ferrules in the straight section of the down tube so the back to back splices only see compression stress.
The Nissen cable is not compressionless but shouldn't be a concern in this application.
As usual parts are on order so it will be a few days, so in the meantime I will be polishing my crank...

Well it took 2yrs to prepare & paint only on inspiration based on the designs of H. Giger.

Splicing of the Jagwire cable to the Nissen cable worked very well and the rather tight bend radius of the rear brake and front derailleur routing was made with ease, the Jagwire cable would not make this radius.

The cable splice was done with Jagwire back to back connectors.

Then I used Japanese made glue lined heat shrink designed for subsea applications. Why because I have some, this holds the works together and makes the splice very strong under tension.

Now off to wax my crank: Mike

So this crank installation went well considering this is Campagnolo Ultra-Torque funkyness. What I did, cleaned the crank bearings with mineral spirits and used he compressor to blow out the expired grease and anything else that didn't belong in there, followed with a repack using Finish Line grease.
Crank was assembled in the bottom bracket 5 times to get the teflon washer shim pack to the correct dimensions as I am not using Campagnolo's friction inducing wave washer (or their funky bent wire retention clip), the total shim pack required to leave me <.05 mm of float was a 1.63mm stack of teflon shims.
The crank spin test results are just short of five revolutions with draggy campagnolo bearing seals. I am very happy with the three piece Enduro Bearing Bottom bracket and whoever in China built the frame as it has proven to be on the money including the chain line.
So On To The Photos...

So for the moment I'm calling the crankset done.
Wishing Everyone A Great Day: Mike

Coming together nicely
