Campagnolo Advice

    Morning All
    So I've been riding fixed for years therefore don't know a hell of a lot about road bikes as such. I've acquired a Colnago Master from the late 90s that I'm building up. I've already got a load of old good Chorus parts, all I need is a chainset, Italian bottom bracket, pedals and headset (I've a Centaur front deraileur and Mirage Ergo shifters I'll change at some stage during the summer). Anyone here have any of said bits or know a good used site to sift through? I was told I need a 36 x 24 107mm bottom bracket and there's a guy selling a chainset and a 102mm BB for €70-90 on ebay.

    http://cgi.ebay.com/Campagnolo-Chorus-Crankset-172-5-Standard-/270564111979?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Cycling_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3efee0b66b#ht_500wt_990

    Any opinions would be great.
    Thanks
    Matt

    Yeah that's what I thought but not too sure about those 5mm, wondering if it'll affect it rubbing off the frame

    The 107mm BB is not for the linked set. The linked set uses 102, thus you will have absolutely no problem with chainline or rubbing. BB length is a function of the chainset, not the frame

    I'm not entirely sure on size, I'll have to check when I get home. How much and when would you be getting rid?

    @ abcdgss How much you looking for if it fits?

    @ singlemalt why do you reckon it won't fit? Not that I'm doubting, hell the more info the better

    I'd be asking for 70 for it.
    It's an internal headset, which may not be of any use to you

    The Master uses 1" threaded. Record threadless headsets sell at the 55 to 60E mark. Threaded may be even cheaper

    My steerer's threadless. So.....retarded question maybe, can I thread the top of the steerer so that it excepts a quill stem? I've a lovely 3t I wanted to use, I much prefer the older look. Or will I just have to get a chrome threaded fork I have in the shed instead if I want to go the quill route?

    How old is the master? Is the fork original? Depending on the steerer (is it steel, and whats the internal diameter and is it chromed?), it may be possible to thread the steerer.
