Awesome

Really like your investigation and thumbs up for these old Campa parts. I was stunned too when restoring an old set that never saw any love by the previous owner (and never changed anything like your cable was). Some parts looked terribly bad but after a good clean it was working like new. Only a bottom bracket was pittet so badly it needed replacement, but further it was nearly none Italian quality. Shifting with those bullet twisters is a bit tricky though.

That's right. That's why I was pleasantly surprised that the chainrings were so well synchronized.
It doesn't matter too much; they work well in the reverse gear, there are only three, and the front shifting is minimal. But it's better if everything works perfectly.

By the way, I used a Sachs chain. They actually work well with the Campagnolo 7- and 8-speed syncros (remember that Campagnolo didn't have a specific chain for those groupsets and recommended Sachs).
Perhaps that's why the shifting is so smooth.

Thanks for the feedback.
After some thought, I think I'll change the seatpost. I know that one is the right one for the frame, but I like this "complicated" Campagnolo seatpost better.

I have used / sold tons of those Sachs Sedis chains back in the days and remember how high quality it was compared to Shimano 7 speeds. Wish I still had those
