Yes, at 126mm it would originally have been six or seven speed. Being steel, it will happily take eight though.
SR wouldn't be "wrong", but IMHO it would look a little dated (but very nice). First gen. Record is obvious, but expensive: first gen. Chorus would be the savvy choice (Monoplaners trounce Delta for me).
Just to throw a curved ball: AX? Contemporary with SR, but ahead of the game and NOS is still quite readily available and affordable.
