If I were to pull down my classified add, how would you vote I build this bike?
Standard road - 2x10 campy with downtube shifters
SS road - drop bar and look pedals
SS townie - flat bars and spd (or flat) pedals
Other?

I really have no need for a fourth bike, but the frame is here, it won't sell, and I've got a pretty good spare parts supply.
On hand parts:
King headset
Eurus wheelset
Silver record brakeset
Silver modolo/Sachs drop bar brake levers
10spd Campagnolo downtube shifters
Silver veloce 10spd RD
Silver chorus 10spd FD
Silver centaur ultra-torque crankset
Silver spinachi extensions
Centaur 10 cassette
Centaur 10 chain
Selle italia SLR saddle
Pleanty of cable and housing
140mm 25.4 quill (ideal for flat bars)
Logical convention and the parts list above would lean to a traditional road bike. A traditional road bike would be duplication, but my current skinny tire road bike also has a good deal of sentimental value so it would be a better candidate for taking on vacation or rides with questionable weather.
I do miss having a single speed so another option would be to use the centaur crankset with a single ring and only use a single cog on the rear. It obviously wouldn't be as clean as a dedicated singlespeed, but I bet it looks nice. One benefit of the 130 spacing would be shared wheels. I could swap my powertap wheel on the bike with just a cassette change.
Flat bars and spd isn't as comfortable for a long ride, but this would make it unique to my existing bikes. It would probably also be fun around town. That said, town is pretty small and I often end up walking so I can bring the dog with me.
It really wouldn't take much to change it up, but where does the group reccomend I start? (Realizing the smart option is keeping it for sale)
