I feel absolutely fine putting 'fancy' (simple, top quality) parts (that hold their value and work on a multitude of bikes) on such an underrated frame.
I feel all kinds of weird ending up with parts bins full of half-worn cheap shit that I don't really like. -
Yeah, looking back through this thread I can never decide which I prefer. I guess that's the appeal of these bikes, the versatility.

I share that sentiment.
Mine started with reasonably fancy bits inherited from other bikes (e.g. Thomson finishing kit, few carbon bits) but pretty soon (as it received progresively more use), cheaper more basic parts went on to the point that it resembled base factory spec.
If it was my only bike, I might have been more tempted to spec it out, but because there were others that were nicer or faster, I tended to saved bling parts for those.
I reckon fancy parts work better on frames that have been customised; they look more out of place on a frame with a stock Pomp paint job or with On One repro decals.

I can never figure out if I like the pimppomps or the hacked-together roll-over-everything to work pomps more.
The pimppomps look fantastic but I'd feel all kinds of weird putting such fancy parts on such a basic frame
