I have the front wheel from a '91 PDG Series-5, and the rear is the matching rim built with a new hub/spokes. No reason other than wanting stuff that matches to buy a set if all you need is the rear wheel.

I don't know about 80s, but the 1991 105sc group works fine. That's what I have for the front hub, crank, front brake and brake levers on mine.
