If it's that narrow, you aren't going to be able to use some of those gears, anyway, so it sounds like a nice 7-sp range would do.

That's a nice frame, and my only recommendation is a 7-sp RSX STI setup, and there are some beautiful 7-sp wheelsets out there with Shimano hubs and often Mavic rims...add some nice polished components to the mix, and you'll have a bike that rides as well as any 10-sp setup, shifts the same, and keeps the vintage look all around.
