I've lost sleep over which way to go, and think I'm going modern 11sp mechanical campy. I don't like the crank esthetics of the new super record, but 2014 and back looks good, to my eyes at least.
May cause some nauseated responses from the c&v crowd here, but my reasoning goes like this:
1. It already spread/ made to 130 mm
2. It is not an old bike, rather a new bike, just made by the master.
3. It's my bike and I can do whatever I want :-P
Haven't made a wheel choice yet, but some of the h plus son options are looking good right now.
Going 11 sp will take a little more time just because the group cost is high and I want it all in new condition.
I also decided to make this an apprenticeship build. I have a mechanic who I trust, and I'm going to build it with him so he can guide me along so I don't screw it up. I have a good relationship with the shop and that way we can build it there off hours.
