First thoughts are picking a groupset and associated color scheme. I'm not brand loyal, having both Campagnolo and Shimano bikes. So question number one. Shimano gray, probably a 6800 group, or Campagnolo in silver or black, Athena before it is replaced by the new ugly.

Thoughts?

Congrats on scoring such a sweet bike!

I will give you my usual response: whichever get this bike back on the road in the shortest possible time.

To get it out of the way first: being pedantic, the word is "queue", not cue.

More importantly, and to answer the question asked -- American ti always seems to call for Shimano group-san, to my eyes. Frankly, 5800 is so good that I'd go for that in black. Or 7700/7800 in high-polish silver if you want new-school-retro. I'd go for TB14 rims from H Plus Son, too. Keep in mind that's only my opinion and you've got a great frame at the core no matter what you hang on it. Congrats!

It says Super on it. That means Super Record is the only thing that will work.

Sweet frame. I would go Campy Record Titanium all the way!
