I just recently acquired a bike with campy components and I just love them. Yes, take a breath. TE is all about enabling. One part at a time. You've been looking at these for years, no need to be in a hurry now, and when it's finished you will love it and be so proud of it. A once in a lifetime bike for you! Congrats!

Sweet. Yes, keep the Ruby together- ride it while you take the time to build the Colnago. Maybe you can find a good price on the 'older' 10 speed stuff (Record maybe?) while every lemming out there gotsta-have-11-speed (
an answer in search of a question if ever I saw one.) Yes Campy is the way to go. Congrats!

My Italian frame has yet to implode (or explode) due to all the Shimano Ultegra hanging off it. (I bought it that way, but I do like Shimano)
I would vote for keeping the Ruby whole though.
So, congrats on the new frame and have fun parts shopping!

Your cranks won't work. Specialized bikes with threaded BBs are English threaded. So...sounds like you need to buy some new components

Yeah, I figured that there would be problems switching stuff over. This is my first build, and I am TOTALLY ignorant about Campy stuff. My SO knows, but he is very careful to let me do my thing...he will help if I ask.
So I will be asking a bunch of questions from ya'll that have done this before...
Thanks everyone for the support, thanks in advance for the advice!

campy, shimano, or sram... If it came with an italian bb, it won't work with an english set up.
