Alright, I'm almost done with my build, but I need help to pick out the last few components.
This is what it looks like atm:

Parts:
Frame: Eddy Merckx with Columbus SL tubing. Need help dating the frame.
Forks: Supposedly the original ones that came with the frame. Can someone tell?
Campagnolo Pista bottom bracket
Cranks: Campagnolo Super Record Pista
Hubs: Campagnolo Record Pista
Rims: Mavic MA40
Headset Campagnolo
Seatpost: Campagnolo
Saddle (current): Selle San Marco Millennium
Bars: 3TTT
Stem: 3TTT
I need pedals, cages, straps and a saddle, but.. What would you do?!
Also, I need some kind of braking device.. I'm not too keen of drilling the fork and mount a brake, so I'm down to two options:
A: Buy a Dia Compe clamp-on brake in silver. I am not too sure whether this is going to ruin the looks, as it tends to look quite massive.
B: Buy new chromed forks pre-drilled, and install a brake.
Both leaves me to the question: Which lever, cable and brake would fit my build?
