I went with a full Ultegra 6500 group, nitto everywhere I could and Sun cr18/shimano 105 wheels... sourced everything used (to keep costs down) except the wheels. Still need to match the bar tape better and put new tires on it, but so far I'm quite happy. I couldn't resist the ridiculous vintage turbo saddle
Cool ride. Are those forks original? How does it ride? That turbo saddle may be a uncommon color,but they're comfy to me.
