Silver Thomson post and a dark grey ultegra crank would finish this nicely.

I think so as well, though it's not deemed as desirable as everyone wants an RB-1, I feel this is an underrated frameset. Hope you find one my dude!

I love older steel frames with modern components; this build is no exception. Looks great.
