I have some Noodles or a Deda 215 sitting here, along with the Centaur Century gruppo...and I built a pair of wheels this winter with Aeroheads laced to a Chorus rear and Daytona front hub...what else...black Mavic seatpost or fluted Gippiemme...black Concor supercorsa saddle (maybe a Swift Ti later)...maybe some 27mm Parigi-Roubaixs???
Did you get your frame painted???
The grey Civias would be a good choice as well.
I just picked up a set of Honjos off of CL. The owner got mad at them and sold them, as he couldn't figure out how to mount them properly.
I'll use them on a build this fall, and they (a new set) might look sweet with this frame of yours.
Your build details sound fantastic by the way.
Also, I agree on those bikes you mentioned. As nice as any that's for sure. That Chris Bishop, has a special spot though.
He is a super guy to chat with, and in a short amount of time came up with some great ideas for me.
Finally, if you are inquiring about my Walter Croll, yes I did have it etched and primed.
I am down to two color schemes, and I like both equally.
I'll take some pics when finished.
