theres a lot of room for improvement but I totally trust you with that space..;)
enjoooooy.
no idea to retromodern it? -
It depends. I've got 9spd Chorus on one bike with the same style Ergo's as yours, and they're my favourite shifters. More so than the modern 11spd Chorus I have on another bike.
However I appreciate a lower bottom gear than 9spd Chorus can manage'gramming, commuting etc, then build around those Ergo's. Otherwise, modern groupset

Last week I stumbled upon an ad on the local craigslist which seemed to good to be true.
Not far from where I live was a listing of a Somec Dynamic with an 8 speed Campy ergo Athena gruppo. Pictures were shite and the bike looked terrible but the seller lived only 40km. away so I mailed the guy and we arranged a meeting.
The bike looked horrible and was very dirty but it was exactly my size and the price was more than reasonable. I decided to buy the bike since I have been lusting over a Columbus Max/MiniMax Somec since I got into bikes.
This is how she looked when I got her. the saddle was waaaaaay down, but luckily not stuck.
I took her apart and gave the frame a good wash. The chrome cleaned up really well and the paintjob is ok. She could use new transfers though.
What to do now? I'm leaning towards a Full C-rec. group although DA 7400 also tickles my fancy..
Hmm, an Italian deserver Campy, right?
