Welcome, [MENTION=459137]Gatri[/MENTION]. It sounds like you're taking the "well informed" route into road biking, which is pretty cool. Knowing your machine is awesome, in my eyes, and I admire your path.

I'm sure you've already poked around Bike Forums, but of course:

Bicycle Mechanics - Bike Forums

Classic & Vintage - Bike Forums

should both fit in with the bike you're completing.

This: General Cycling Discussion - Bike Forums is all around cycle talk,

and this: Road Cycling - Bike Forums is very much road specific.

Off site, Sheldon Brown is a great resource, as well.

Have fun!
