I like to remember in these threads that a classic 10-speed Schwinn would have had a 40-34 low gear and a 52-14 high, about 32* to 100 gear inches with (sorta) six ratios. You can now get about the same range and up to 11 ratios with a single ring and an 11-34 cassette. The situation is even better for you if you were going to match a Campy setup which had both narrower rings and smaller freewheel.
* Edit- at first I misremembered and miswrote 40-100
