new frame, new bike. Yikes.

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.

Congratulations you will love your Colnago.
I agree with the girls go Campy on your Colnago.
I have Shimano on my Trek and Campy on my Colnago and I prefer Campy.

Just remember if you ride both bikes a lot it might take a few minutes at the beginning of each ride to remember which way to shift those gears (well at least it does for me).

What Trekhawk said. Go Campy.

Yeah...I am too much of a purist to do anything else but go campy. I will just have to uh, cut back here and there in order to afford it...and it will take some time. I will keep the Ruby intact. My goal is to have the Colnago (who I have named Guiseppe) ready for the Hotter than Hell hundred, and my goal THERE is to do the 100 miles in less than 5 hours. It is hot but pretty flat (except for that long, steady barely imperceptible rise that goes on forever with nothing to look at but a vast, hideous expanse of highway...I have done plenty of big hills, but that little rise in the heat kicks my butt every time, I think the road makes it hotter).

5 hours? That bike is gonna be flying!!!

Go Campy - but even with an Italian BB, you can still go with Shimano or Campy. (says the girl with 6 Campy bikes - although all six are Italian bikes, the Bianchis all have English BBs, and the Colnagos have Italian. How confusing is that?)
