Thrilled with my new bike

Since 2001, over 90,000 cyclist's have joined Cycling Forums to discuss topics from general cycling to equipment, training, racing and travel or vacation destinations (especially in europe during the tour de france). We also feature an great deals in our online store, 100's of articles, classifieds and product reviews.

Are there any spacers or something for adjusting this?

You can put a spacer under the right cup BUT outboard bearing setups are very susceptable to irregularities in BB width. Campag has a nice system of a wavy washer in the left cup that accomodates narrow BB shells but if it's wide, AND you add a spacer, it may make the bearings bind. This is really going to be a problem if BBs go to the BB30 'system', where there is NO way to move the chainrings out. You are just gonna have to 'trust' the frame maker. We have built a couple of bikes using a famous Belgium frame that has had the small ring be very close to and on one, hit the stay.

Campy Crono tublar rims. I still love the wheel set...wish I could find a way to run them on the new ride...but with an actual freewheel they are a bit dated.
FWIW. To state what will seem all-too-obvious-in-retrospect, you can simply have the rim (or, equivalent) re-laced onto the contemporary rear hub of your choice ... that's what I finally did to update a couple of my wheelsets at-the-turn-of-the-Century.

AFAIK, Campy rims are made by Ambrosio, so if a cosmetic match isn't mandatory, you can just pick up an(y) older Ambrosio tubular rim (obviously, there were several models which had different weights-per-rim) & lace it onto a contemporary rear hub.

In an earlier thread, I think I mentioned that I chose the bottom bracket intended for a TRIPLE when I mounted a standard ROAD DOUBLE on a MTB frame (i.e., a 118mm ISIS instead of a 113mm ISIS that would be used on a typical ROAD frame) ...

So, the comparable work-around would be to spec a "triple" crankset (if available) but not mount the granny ...

Of course, the Q-factor would be affected by 2.5mm on each side ... THAT isn't an problem for me, but may be for some.

Obviously, that isn't an option for people who want to use a 110BCD "compact" crankset.

Very nice rplace. Also your older bike is very elegant. IMVHO there is little as elegant as a dark frame with Campagnolo Corsa Record components.
