Components? Looks like lots of Nuevo Record - not like you're going to have trouble finding bits in nicer shape.
my luck has been pretty insane on the bike front in the last 6 months. Last summer, I found a 1945 Benotto Cambio Corsa, making it the only one I have ever seen with a date code during the war, then in December, a 1963/4 Paratella IBAC team bike. There is only one other that I know of, but it is a track bike and mine is a road bike.

I am a purist for originality, so I will try to save as many of the original components as I can, but if I need to swap some out, I have plenty of spares on hand.😊
