I have no idea about geared bikes from the 80's 90's at all, (and I mean NO idea) so any suggestions as to what groupset, components would be very welcome....nothing to spendy

Period correct for the age and quality level would be something like Shimano 1050/1055 or Campagnolo Triomphe at best, Gara is barely above entry level. Neither was all that wonderful even then, and short of finding a NOS set it's going to be worse now. I'd go neo-retro, Tiagra 4700 groupsets are going cheap at the moment and are better than 80s Record or DuraAce.

Thanks, sounds like a good idea. It's going to be used as a geared commuter/ run around most likely so ease of use is probably the way to go-no one wants to be fiddling around with broken or misfiring derailleurs or what not half way to work....
