Well......sometimes I miss the obvious. As I continue to debate the build on the Motta and the Krapf it dawned on me last night that the Superbe FD I have is one of the endless band ones and won't fit either bike. Duh! So I'm leaning towards using the Record 8 speed on this despite really liking how the black chainrings look on the Motta. Although, I may see if there's some classic looking black chainrings around that fit the 135 bcd Campagnolo crank arms. Then I can use any one of my available black Campagnolo freehubbed wheelsets. None of the wheelsets are Campagnolo 8 speed but I'm pretty sure I have a converted Veloce 9 speed cassette, or at least the conversion spacers, in my stash. Going this route just means coming up with a cable kit (black housing I think) and putting 'er together. Now how many more times will I change my mind before I decide, LOL!
