Cinelli Pro Estrada – which barrel adjusters?

I am building a Cinelli Pro Estrada and am finally on the home straight. The only piece that I'm missing are the frame-mounted adjusters. The actual Cinelli mounts are very small, so it looks like I may need something slimmer than usual (the ones I've seen on t'internet).
Anybody have any experiences of this / thoughts / musings?

    Are you sure it needs frame mounted adjusters?

    My bike of two years has them, but I've never used them... so no?

    I think I'll press ahead without them.

    i use them infrequently, usually to tweak the front mech

    http://www.chickencycles.co.uk/ are the uk cinelli distributor, i'd ask them if they can supply the correct ones - btw cinelli can be ***really*** slow to cough things up, so if chicken has no stock i'd look elsewhere!
    my bike - faster than god's and twice as shiny

    Standard ones are 6mm (shimano) but some frames use 5mm. Get a pair of the old Campagnolo downtube stops and use the adjusters from those:

    Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..
