Hey all, thanks for pitching in with many great ideas - for this bike, will retain period originality - there are better candidates for modernizing. And thanks for the grand pics of your Super's for examples. Will definitely clean and overhaul everything before riding - it wasn't ridable as is, shot tires, brake cables disconnected, tri bars, dried out grease in the drive train.

Thoughts to complete the build, perhaps two ways:

1. Stock period: Campagnolo Record/Nuovo Record, clincher wheels with low flange hubs, Cinelli 1A/CdM and Unicanitor, cloth tape.
2. Hot rod/weight weenie in period... I've some Cobra, Arnold Industries and other alloy bits, Campagnolo SL track pedals, Weyless post, perhaps build Weyless hubs to tubular rims, Mathauser brake pads, etc.
