Headplate affixed with adhesive although it was intended to be mounted with fasteners. Perhaps a "find" the owner decided to mount...

Pump barrel too short.

Nut on bottom bracket cable guide incorrect.

Crank fixing bolts should be black oxide finish rather than chrome.

Chainstay stop adjusting barrel should be replaced with Campag Nr. 620 stepped ferrule. Housing slightly too short.

Saddle pillar did not exist at time of machine's fabrication; but then you know that already.

Frame appears to have been built with a different brakeset in mind. Note how pads at bottom of travel both front and rear. Rear pads cannot quite get down to the centre of the braking surface on the rim. The Super 68 rear caliper has a lower travel limit of 63mm. The model 61 rear caliper has a lower travel limit of 72mm. Suspect frame built for 61's. If you proceed with plan to retrofit to Campag Record brakeset you will definitely need a dropbolt for the rear. Even the standard dropbolt may prove inadequate. Alternately, if you prefer sidepull calipers the model 51 Extra could be fitted. Its centre of slot dimensions are 50.5mm front and 64mm rear vs 47.5mm front and 56.5mm rear for modell Super 68. In this regard an easy check you could make if you travel to visit the cockerel would be to measure its front and rear brake centres. For model 61, for example, they are 55.5mm front and 64mm rear (same as for model Extra 51).

This cable casing did not exist at the time of the bicycle's construction. The stock silver-grey housing from Fratelli Pietra would be more appropriate. The REG cable guide Nr. 749 a nice touch.
