Still waiting on pedals and seatpost, but I'm impatient to share now that it's ridable. I love vintage steel, but wanted a modern setup. Best of both world, I hope. Grant Petersen designed no less.

This really isn’t the problem it used to be. In the last few years, companies have offered inexpensive square-taper and Hollowtech II bottom brackets for Italian, French, and Swiss threading.
Right now is a great time to be fixing up an obsolete frame, and stocking up on spare parts.
That’s great to know. I was sufficiently scared away from anything other than English threads that I didn’t look too much further into it.
You’re right about it being a golden age. My garage would be filled with frames hanging from the ceiling if my wife would allow. :-)
Also you can use a non-Shimano crankset if you need to uses a BB that isn't Hollowtech.
