hi guys - thanks - this is on my go-fast. I actually have quite a hodge-podge, and quite proud of how well it all works together. Currently running a '79 Shimano 600 EX RD with 8-speed freewheel, 9-speed hollow-pin chain and Daytona "10-speed" FD ($17 on ebay), "10 speed" Campy Centaur crankset (NOS). No chainline problems, both derailleurs work wonderfully (NOS Triomphe friction shifters - $22 at Boulder). Have had no problems with chainline and and the gearing is generally great - a little long for climbing hills, especially into my neighborhood.

The wheels were tubulars and were a gift from Patrick. I have a very nice Record/Moskva clincher wheelset that came with the 8 speed cassette, and I'm watching a good deal on a NOS Centaur RD (10 speed). I'm planning to friction shift 8, keep the 9-speed chain, and take advantage of the wheel change when I get there to rebuild a few things (when the tubulars I'm currently rolling cry uncle). I plan to use the 8 Campy cassette gears and friction shift, but wondering if I may face a chainline or space problem with a "10 speed" RD thanks again.
