Hi John and CR List,
I was planning on setting up my silver Raysport 60cm to be an exact match for my silver 60cm 1973 Cinelli SC. Same dates on the Campagnolo kit etc. Thought it would be sort of a neat exercise.

In coming days there will be around 20 new Raysport owners. Wondering how y'all are planning to build them up?! There are many possibilities, and likely no "correct" set-up.
I am entertaining three options:
Early generation (circa. 1977) Dura Ace groupo with many black parts. Benefits are English threading, use for all those neat Dura Ace clamps, black might look stunning against the silver and red.
Second possibility is to install what I call a "Campagnolo Lo" groupo (circa. 1972) including Sport headset and 3-arm steel cotterless crankset, high flange Tipo hubs, shift levers with the shield style tightening dial (Sport? Gran Sport?), Nuovo Record derailleurs, Universal 68 brakeset, TTT Record stem and bar. I've been wanting to do such a bike for a while but haven't found just the right Italian frameset.
Lastly, superlightweight, French-influenced, non-Campagnolo build including Huret Jubilee shifting, Stronglight 93 or Nervar Star crankset, maybe Weyless hubs, Universal or Mafac stoppers. These are more parts wailing in their boxes for a suitable mate.
