Best options for my bike?

After years of being off a bike, Ciocc's, Pinarello's, Kestrels and OCLVs long gone, I've gotten back on an ancient Roberts (531) with Campy Record.

I like the 22lb weight of the bike, frame is pretty stiff and responsive while being comfortable on Boston roads. After just a few rides, I can feel the love coming back.

I don't see the need for a new/used lightweight wonderbike, but the shifting and brakes on the current bike have to go.

Looking at the groups these days, I'll have to build a new rear wheel at the very least, but I wonder if these crazy 10-speed rear cassettes will even fit in my rear geometry.

Anyone know about that? Or where I could get a a good condition, complete old school (late 90s+) Dura Ace shifter/derailleur set-up?

Or should I just be looking for a more modern bike and forget upgrading?

A recommendation getting back on: Sidi Genius 5 Pro. shoe fits like a glove, super comfortable, make you want to ride more.
