Subject: [CR] Early 80s Colnago Super build-up


I'm contemplating finishing the restoration of my wife Cheryl's early 80's Colnago Super.  We purchased the frame used in 1985 and built-it up with what was available at the time for club rides.  The paint and decals are in excellent condition - I'd just like the components to be more appropriate for an early 80s Super.  I recall most of the Supers of the period being all or mostly Campy Super Record.  Cheryl has small hands (Campy Super Record levers were too big for her), so I'll probably have to stick with the more modern short-reach Aero Compe brake levers currently on the bike.  Any thoughts/comments?
