I admit I would enjoy NR crank and brakeset, but that's all I'm really missing and replacing them would do nothing for the performance of the bike (and I quite like the Super Mighty drillium crank). If I had the $150 for a nice brakeset I would probably put it towards parts for the Colnago anyway

What would you replace the turbo with? I like that one quite a bit as well.
I was speaking of a 3ttt Superleggera saddle not bars. But since you mention it the Fiamme bars are cool, but too early for that bike, so go for the 3ttt SL bars as well. Brakeset should be Campy Record wih milled calipers and levers with milled World Stripes. Crank should be Record with panto Super Record rings

Yes, the frame is a 80-81 Reparto. Could have been sold as a Super Corsa, Super Leggera, or Specialissima. The last of the really great Bianchi's.
