Newbie, need some help.

I just picked up a Cannondale Silk Road frameset from 1997/98. Its new old stock and in prime condition. So now I'm online looking for components. My first question, will modern components fit this bike?

I'd like to go with a triple. I'm pretty sure they made a triple in that time frame so I'm assuming I'd be OK to go with that and the frame should fit it.

The only info I'm sure about is that the original bb for that frame was shimano lp27, I think 68 x 110.

Anyways, I can find a new Shimano 105 group (double) for the same price as a lightly used Ultegra 6600 group (triple). Any opinions?

My only experience is riding a fs mtn bike for the last 10+ years (cannondale super v). Trying to shift to road bikes because I want to go farther and faster on paved surfaces.
