Mercian - which groupset?

Hi

Am about to order a Strada Speciale with a classic look, barbers pole, amber wall tyres, brooks saddle etc the only thing I can't decide is the groupset.

I don't want to go vintage as it is a new bike so 60s components don't make sense.

I was thinking silver Campagnolo Centaur but they now only make it in black, so it would have to be either Veloce or Athena but I'm put off because I've read as 11 speeds they both need constant maintenance - any thoughts?

The only other option was to go Velo orange crank and dia-compe downtube shifters but not sure if they will feel cheap - my daily ride has campagnolo Nuovo record.

Any suggestions? Advice?

Thanks
