I'm assembling a circa-1970 Olympia from the frame & fork up. I don't know the model, but it has chromed fork crown and front and rear (Campy) dropouts, no eyelets, classic geometry. Ferrari red. I'm guessing it was a "B" level racing frame. The only transfers are an italics (?) OLYMPIA on each side of the downtube, a head tube decal and the seat tube logo.
I have most of the correct vintage parts for it, including NR derailleurs & shifters, HF sewup wheels, NR crankset and BB. I'm missing a brakeset (standard reach), seat post and a headset. Will I have to re-fi the domicile and spring for 1970 parts? What are other vintage-appropriate possibilities?
I'm hoping for a thorough and cost-effective response, so that I can move on and plead for help with my main project - identifying and (if/when identified) restoring my mystery 1950s(?) British (?) track (path?) bike. When I figure out how to publish some pictures, I'll post them for comments.

PS went out for a 20-mile first ride yesterday on a just-off-topic (1985) still brand new Santana Tandem. What a gas!
