Original Campagnolo 990 derailleurs -- smooth as the day I bought them!

Purchased new in 1983 at Bianchi factory store in Milan, Italy. I raced this bike through high school and have put something in the neighborhood of 30K miles on it. I have made many parts swaps over the years, and am planning a return to some of the vintage bits (thank you Ebay!). I may even convert it into a fixed gear machine so I ride it more often (shifting gears is boring).

I might just...

...do that. It's something I've been thinking about for a long time. Really, the whole thing depends on whether I can find an affordable BB in Italian threading that has a decent spindle length for good chainline (a Phil Wood is too expensive for my blood!).

Takes my breath away, and the fact that you bought it while in Italy...all the better. Welcome to Velospace Jack.

...I bought it with some money from my very first job. Now, 46 jobs later and a bunch of years, I still have it! I'd hang it above my fireplace if my wife would let me!!
