Great frame to start with. I’ve been running my early 90s Rudy Project with drop bars, 105 with cantis and superchonk-size tyres for some time. It’s easily the most versatile bike I’ve ever built. Does everything, goes anywhere and is generally indestructible. In the spirit of things, I’d recommend 1x at the front with a NW chainring. Don’t go too mad at the back, if you have like a 34T at the front and an 11-34 at the back it’ll give you all the range you need with big tyres.
