Also, unless there really ARE C&V Police, the only one whose opinion matters in building up a bike is your own. I rebuild my bikes to ride, so I don't feel compelled to use the original saddle and bars, for example if they don't fit me. I use modern cables and cable housing, admittedly in original colors, but I don't obsess about using chromed ferrules. And I don't use that thin bar tape.
