Well, this is progressing slowly but I think I know the path I'm going to take. The Shimano 600 Tricolor set I have on hand is just in so much better condition than the Chorus set I have. So I'm going with that on this bike. I'll be using the Fulcrum wheels for sure now but will probably break out the heatgun and pull off the decals. I lucked out and was able to get a discontinued silver Thomson 26.8 seatpost with setback for 1/2 price from them. The seatpost let me dial in my normal setback from the BB and then the Nitto 80mm stem puts the reach spot on.
I guess the final decision now is just cosmetics. What saddle to put on it which may then dictate bar tape color to go on the Nitto Noodle's handlebars I'll be using on it. And of course the housing color white or red....
I've got a lot of range of motion back on my separated shoulder but I still can't do any work with it. I won't even mention how worthless my thumb still is on my other hand. It may be awhile before this is done unless I pass it off to the LBS.
