Nice project! Love the funky colors, and i think the bar tape will look great.
That 105 group is solid, I rode one on my first road bike for two years - which was also an MBK actually, "Chrono" i think it was called in red/blue Columbus Thron tubing with a chrome fork. Over time the STI's original grease may dry out and clock up the shifting mechanism, but spraying in some WD-40 or similar will keep it going again for a year or so before a new treatment is needed, at least that was my experience.
Good luck with the stem and bars, looking forward to seeing the final result.
