Yours looks like it's in such good shape! I really liked the build I did with my frame but I had to use most of the parts from it for a new non-C&V bike. I've got a new build in mind for it though

Trying to decide between the following candidates for my next STI type build: 98' Aluminum GT Attack, '81 LeTour Frame (new old stock) and '85 Voyageur.(new old stock) for a $500 groupset budget (I have wheels, tires, bars, etc), which would you build and what would you build it with?
For a build with modern components, I would either go with the GT or 85 Voyageur. For an STI build I'd lean more towards the GT. The Voyageur would be cool with 10 or 11sp bar-ends and modern cantilevers or mini-V brakes.

It looks like we ride the same size frames, I'm super jealous you found a GT triple triangle in your size
