Hey Mel... You should know by now that I won't use period correct bits...I think the closest thing I own is an '88 Chorus 7s gruppo.

Personally I would try to keep as much as possible period correct. The idea of gold sounds cool, but when a certain part wasn't availbale back than I would hesitate to go for it.
Grady... I haven't made my final decision on the gruppo...but...if I go Chorus 10s, I will need to buy or trade for an Italian BB...the Chorus 11 is ready to go.
As far as cabling...you guys don't like the gold...white or black then? White or black saddle/tape??
Also, what do you guys think about the drop-outs...try to touch them up or strip what's left down to chrome???

Are you going Chorus 10 or 11 speed with this one?
I would go subtle on the housing colors to keep the eye on those nice frame details.
Man, I love these build threads.
