Sounds like sentiment is for a more period-correct, less blingy look?

Well, older parts are cheaper :-) So, alloy crank and traditional wheels, round post.

Yellow seat/bar tape, or white seat/tape, to play off the decals? I had thought basic black, but if the fork gets replaced with a carbon one, that'll be a lot of black . . .

Polish the lugs to shiny, or leave them dull?
i don't care too much about period correctness. Latest components work well like that Campy in your pic. I am a big fan of MAvic wheels, so I have to retract my statement about the French. Time and Look are great. Try a pair of Ksyrium wheels. If not,have a shop build you a set of 32 holes, 3 cross Mavic Reflex SUP rims with your choice of hub. Absolutely bomb proof and light, yet strong enough for daily abuse. Yes abuse. I can't help you with the look dept. but I will say this, yellow or white saddle will turn black. Its just a matter of time. Make my saddle black please. I think this stem will look great on your bike. I had one on my look and really miss it. Cinelli Pinocchio Stem - Cinelli - Euro-Asia Imports This is another one I like which I had on my ICE. It is the first one, the Eclipse Stems
