Yesterday I inherited a BEAUTIFUL and VERY CLEAN 1985 ish Raleigh Usa Grand Prix (the red one with crome stem tube and triangle). I LOVE it, it is so gorgeous.
I must say, however, that I am not too good with the non-indexed downtube shifters. I am considering buying an ultegra group to make this a ripper of an older steel frame. Any thoughts? Will this work?
Here is the group I am looking at:

While I am mechanically inclined, I am new to bikes, so I am not to clear on the history and compatibility of bike and components.
Thanks, and Im very happy to be able to join the classic crowd!
