Im looking to build a recently bought early 90's colnago, neoretro. Significant amount of chrome says I should be sticking with a silver groupset and wheels, and I'm keen to go higher than veloce which I have on my commuter. Was thinking potenza, but i cant hack the shimano-esque chunky crankset. Fine in black but not for me in the silver, so I was looking at going back to the 11sp athena chainset (double), and possibly finishing the rest of the groupset as potenza. Does this work? Im fine with the power torque as I have this on the commuter, so have the tools for the nightmare crank removal.
To further bastardise things I would probably go for chorus shifters which i think do work with potenza.
corrections/improvements most welcome!
cheers
