I just re-did my Litespeed Classic - mines a little newer ('02 or '03) but not by much . I Used 10 speed Record carbon. You werent kidding about very good condition Dura Ace 7700 and Record being expensive still --- but in my case it wasnt about saving money so much as using a groupset i already had. But it still had to look good. When i realized i wouldnt need a long cage rear derailleur to run the 12-26 cassette, i looked for a VGC short or mid cage rear derailleur and prices were still high .
For me i deviated from Campagnolo on the crankset because i wanted to use compact gearing, so had a near NOS condition FSA crankset in 50/34 to use along with the 12-26 . The darn thing will climb ! even if i cant
Good luck with your project and whichever way you go with the build !
