MGOOF : Modern groupset on old frame

Any recommendations regarding sexy silver seatposts for an early nineties steel frame? I like the look of the Thompson elite with the layback slur, but my lbs guy who builds the bike up, doesn't. Maybe he us right... Any other more conventional recs? Groupset is a silver athena, silver quilt stem...

If my old Dura Ace AX aero post ever gives up the ghost I'd almost certainly change it for a Nitto S65.

edit Then again if I had Campag on the bike I suppose a nice NOS aero stylee one from them would be quite nice as well.

Built this last night and finished it off this afternoon. Done for now but I am thinking silver chain rings might be my only change . Crappy phone pic but you get the idea.

^ Very nice! I think silver cranks would go nice with the shiny chrome bits.

silver rings on those cranks would look muy bien

I'm liking this but can't help thinking that they must have cold-set the frame, which makes me a little nervous about health and safety...

Doing it right. Big fan of this.

Got this Koga frame for cheap and I'm building it up with 5800 105. Just waiting for a couple of parts to arrive.

V nice, mean looking wheels!

That is one very, very nice colour scheme.

Nice!

Edit. @blacklisted

Saw that on eBay! Very nice indeed!

Marinoni Corsa on a weird mix of bits. I definetly want to change the cranks and probably the saddle, pedals & brifters at some point, but other builds are taking priority.

This is my MGSOOF - These aren't my wheels though - does anyone have any suggestions for silver low profile wheels to keep it looking classic?
Alternatively a silver rim suggestions to build onto silver hope hubs?

I had some wheels built using Kinlin ADHN recently, they turned out really nicely. Price is good too.

TB14s are a popular choice.

These?

Thanks guys, I have two sets of wheels to build up so might try both the TB14s and KinLins :)

Those Excellight rims look like a good option. I've got the black ones and very happy with them. Very good machined braking surface.

Outstanding, this and @Viggen Somec luring me back into road bike territory.

Rim I.D?
