Thanks! I probably thought about it more than I should have, given how long it took me... : )
Went with a 5sp modern Sturmey in the rear, mainly because I wanted a bar-end shifter. The front is a Campy Record, and both are laced to Pacenti PL23 rims.
Would have liked it to have non-aero levers with gum hoods, but the ladyfriend wanted to try out Tektro's "short-reach" levers for people with small hands. And the crank set is actually a TA Cyclotouriste with replica Lambert decals. All in all, I'm pretty pleased with how this mix of modern, vintage-looking modern, and actual vintage components turned out!
