Wayne,
I'm not suprised the solution to your Bottom Bracket problem
was an OMAS piece fitted backwards. That's because this should
give the same chainline as a symetric Campagnolo BB. If you
tried a symmetric Campagnolo spindle (e.g. Record/NR Pista,
Gran Sport Pista, Athena road , early Chorus road, or whatever)
and one of those didn't work properly... now that would
surprise me.
Still, there's obviously nothing wrong with your OMAS setup.
