Just get out and ride the fucker and don't be so bloody concerned about what it looks like - use any old part that fits and ride it till it breaks then worry about what to replace it with. A bike is not for wanking over, it can be aesthetically pleasing, but don't lose sleep over your coordination of NJS and vintage campagnolo (for example, I'm not suggesting you should mix drivetrains) unless you want to pose on it, which is a bit naff.
