In that case, I’d probably start with wheels, wanting ones that are reasonably light with spacing that matches the frame (120? 126? 130?). That then leads to choices on the drivetrain, particularly friction or index, depending on that rear spacing. Then, brakes that have the right reach, last bars, stem, post, saddle.
