Sean,
Have the same idea with a 1981 Eisentraut, build with American (brand or made) and French components.
Suggestions (some came from the list a while back):
Brakes: CLB Professional, Mafac Competition Post: Simplex alloy Rear mech.: Huret Jubilee, Simplex SLJ Stem/Bar: Early Mavic stem, Milremo french-made bars, GB, Philippe Saddle: Ideale 2001 or 2002 or 90 Pedals: Atom/Malliard Other hub choices: Hi-E, Weyless, Malliard, MaxiCar, Pessiler
If late 1970's, could scour for Spidel components.

I'm embarking on a project, 70's JT Curved Tube, that I would like to build up period correct, high end components, while avoiding Campy/Cinelli. This isn't to say that I dislike the aforementioned, just after something different.
The current plan is to build it up with 1x5 or 1x6 drivetrain.
So far:
BB- OMAS Ti "big Sliding" or Phil Wood Cranks- TA Pro 5 Vis with Cyclocross double chainguard chainring Hubs- Phil Wood Three Piece Rims- Super Champion/Nisi/Ambrosio Saddle- Wrights Swallow Brakes: ?? Headset: Omas Big Sliding, Stronglight Competition or A9, ??? Seatpost: ?? Pedals: TA Stem and Bars: ??? 3ttt/Philippe/fiamme Freewheel: Suntour or Everest Shifter: Simplex Retrofriciton or the Gipiemme versions
Looking for a few suggestions for parts that rival or are equality in quality to Nuovo Record. Thanks in advance.
