Hmm, Italian BB shell, Shimano cartridge BB, Campy RD. Know anything else about the frame? It sounds like a good candidate for pragmatic choices.

You actually asked about the order of choosing components, not component recommendations. I'd just start looking for everything. You'll find things whenever things pop up and you need them all anyway. Start with a concept but we willing to change your mind if an attractive deal turns up. Also start with good knowledge about what works and what doesn't, like mixing a French stem and a Cinelli handlebar., or nutted vs. recessed brake mounts.

We need pics!
