Components are a personal preference, and 6500 is solid goods. The Rolfs probably make more difference than anything.
Nice bike. wrk101 has one, and that era had some good frames, from the Tempo right up through the Paramount.
I do love the wheelset. The 6500 group works perfectly as well. I do need to raise the seat just a hair and get a more appropriate quill stem for it, then its just ride it and enjoy it.
