I know I want safety levers for the brakes and the Dia Compe or DC/Weinmann combo seems to be cheap and plentiful. For the brakes themselves, I would really like to do Weinmann centerpulls, look nice and available for not a lot of dough.
For the derailleurs... If I can score a set of Shimano Arabesque for low dough, I would be very happy..
