Decided to add to my old thread.
The frame, btw, which I paid $175 on ebay, is actually a DeRosa Primato with Moser graphics - quite a steal at my price. The DeRosa-marked frame would sell for a lot more than I have total in the bike.
Since my photo above, finally gave up on the Rivet saddle, and have been totally happy on a Brooks Swallow.
More changes I've made along the way, swapping the Shimano 600 RD I first used from my parts bin for the 2nd-generation Campy Chorus - Campy's SunTour copy, and with miles, IMO, the best RD ever made by anybody.
Every Campy RD since Croce d'Aune requires a long-cable-pull shifter, and I solved that with the first Record/Chorus friction DT shifters - you can see the rear shifter has a larger sheave diameter to get the longer cable pull.
When I first found my used Record/Moskva clincher wheelset on ebay from Germany, I tried loose ceramic balls in the front hub, and at the same time let a bike shop rebuild the rear freehub, since they had the tool. The logic of ceramic balls (Si-N Gr5) is less the fact they're one-third the weight of steel, but are microscopically smoother than steel. You can find the loose balls cheap enough from vendors on ebay and Amazon.
What I've worked out about the wheelset, the hubs are the Record first "Ultra-drive" 8-sp from 1994-96.
They show 3 different part numbers for the loose balls, I searched the part numbers and found wrong information on other bike forums - both the front hub bearing balls (RE008) and one side of the rear (RE004) are the same size 7/32" balls.
I've been rolling on them for over 5 years, and easily have 7000+ mi on them. BTW, this is the fastest wheelset I've ever ridden on any bike, including older Campy and Zeus hubs, and newer sealed bearing hubs, AC and Phil.
I was hearing a whir coming from the front hub, and decided it was time to look into it, expecting to find pieces of ceramic and wasted cups and cones.
Instead, all I found was white lithium grease turned to wax - the whir was the ceramic balls bouncing together.
Pristine race.
equally good cones and balls - these haven't been solvent-cleaned yet, just wiped down with Boeshield
Instead of using white lithium grease again, this time went to the same grease I use in my antique fly reels - Quantum Hot Sauce - it never turns to wax, even exposed to water - Zebco salt-spray tested it for the equivalent of decades.
You can do the best job final-adjusting front hub cones with the wheel in the fork
(though this shot is finished with dust caps back in place)
And since I can remove the freehub without disassembling it, I'm going to do a similar rebuild on the rear hub bearings sometime this winter.
