I am still waiting for the decals to arrive and continue to vacillate about the group that I want to build it with. There is a part of me that likes the more traditional approach, I like the SR from the late '80s and it seems to be the go-to group for this frameset. I tried the black cranks but started to look at some more traditional...clear anodized is de rigor etc.
I did pull out a newer group that I have been saving for another build and think it might have possibilities so I am contemplating another change.....perhaps graphite?
I think this group is not at the level of the SR group but since I am not a professional cyclist and never purported to be one the weight and strength are not an issue.
I do like the aesthetics of the later Campagnolo groups.
In any event, this is a fun and evolving build so time is not an issue for me.
I will be wrapping the bars later this evening.
The problem is that the chrome on the brake nuts is somewhat lacking in its original luster, and I am not sure tin foil will bring it back to a result that is acceptable.....
