For the Principia, I went with:
105 R7000 group
Planet X Tubulars/Vittoria Rally
Deda finishing kit (already had some parts knocking around)
I wanted to replace the forks, but struggled to find any 1" full crabon ones that I liked for ages. In the end I panic bought the ones below for a decent price from the US, assuming I could remove the graphics. They arrived and it turns out I was very wrong. After too much time sanding, I finally removed most of the lacquer. Idea was to get them sprayed by a guy I know at a car spray shop in either matte black or try and match the candy red of the frame.
Another thing that I wanted to change was the ugly white plastic used at the entrance to the internal cable routing. Luckily somebody on Retrobike already had this problem, so I knew the solution was rubber grommets. If anybody now needs a grommet, let me know as I now have shitloads.
