Timely thread. I also started with NOS front/rear SSC derailleurs that I got at my first Eroica swap meet years ago. Impulse buy, as they are way too cool to pass up.
A 979 in my size just happens to pop up on the BF classifieds a few days ago, and presto! It's inbound!
I already grabbed some NOS 350 bars (undoubtedly same source as you) and should get them soon. I am going to go full French naturally.
I am going to do a simultaneous Colnago Super and Vitus 979 build.
