Cheers, black and silver will be the way to go but I 'm not yet settling on specific parts, I'll just see what comes along. Ideally, I'd like to have DA cranks and high flange hubs but if I can score a pair of reasonably priced sugino s75s or even suntour superbe cranks I wouldn't mind either.
@Alphaone Glad you like the colour, I dig it too. And If I get bored with the colour I can still go full resto and paint it gitane racing blue (love that colour in combination with yellow highlights), although I think that the paintjob will stay like this at least for the next couple years. I really like your m heredia project, I figure the mavic starfish crank wouldn't look too bad on the gitane, either.
@wqvm I guess the purple somac hubs might work on this frame but I'm not a big fan of colourfully anodized aluminium. Moreover, if the frame were to be replaced at some point in the future, I'd like to be able to use the wheelset on another bike so I'll go for neutral black/silver bits.P.s. why are gitane decals so damn expensive (40€). IIRC, I only paid like 10€ for the concorde decals...

I'm pretty sure it is the mexico as it looks identical to the one i own. Mine is the original pearlescent white but these colours look nice! Shallow black rims and a mix of black and silver would do it for me.
