Bottom bracket and chainset choice...

hammamoto

If I wanted to install a campagnolo-compatible triple chain set (cf. veloce/centaur level) onto this frame, (1) what bottom bracket would I need to purchase, and (2) how difficult would the installation be? I'm looking to have a campagnolo-compatible 30/39/52 chain set on my next bike.

The frame set is a 2013 s-works roubaix frame.

Veloce / Centaur use Powertorque - you'll need to check with Specialized whether they make a Powertorque BB adaptor

Hmm... Seems like having a campag chainset isn't possible? What campag compatible chainset and bottom bracket would make most sense? an FSA?

I love my campagnolo equipment, but am getting a bit fed up with compatibility issues!

There are third parties that make campag compatible BBs for specialized OSBB. C-Bear is one. I'm sure the new Campag triples are powertorque - so this should work:

And what, exactly, is a "campag compatible" triple chainset in your mind? I'd suggest that any triple chainset and BB combination would work with a suitable campag front mech (which is the only compatibility issue I can see, and IME it's not been a problem. Not like trying to mix and match Ultegra triple front mech and 105 triple chainset...). So get a triple chainset with the rings you want that fits a BB that fits yr frame.
