Personally, I don't see why not C-Record. After all, it was good enough for the Bianchi Centenario, an example of which took Best Italian at the 2000 Cirque.

How about the first gen version of the Dura Ace 7400? That has to be from nearly the same year as the Paramount and is sort of a new wave interpretation of a classic group (heavily based on Super Record) just like the 50th Paramount itself (modern, nothing like the old nervex-lugged bikes). The 7400 will be cool to have 20 years from now, because it was the first Shimano group that many people felt was better than Campy and the real beginning of Shimano ascendance in the peloton.
