Try Deda 'Ochre' handlebar wrap. Has the Deda logo imprinted in it, but the color looks pretty close.

Thirdgenbird- it's about 20 lbs as pictured. Yep, Chorus with Record cranks. It rides nicely, this is one of the later frames in the run and has had an easy life. My favorite version of this frame is the early one with raw carbon and raw aluminum lugs, there are a few around here and they look great built up with aluminum groups.
My mom raced a early fare with silver lugs when I was a kid. After a season or two it had an epoxy issue and specialized traded her into an m2

1989 Lemond Ventoux with Campy Veloce 10 speed, Shimano Ultegra rear derailleur (with Shiftmate), and Shimano 600 front derailleur. It works wonderfully. The shiftmate was a leap of faith, but I'm glad I did... if for no other reason than I can more effectively combine stuff from my parts bin.

My Paganini...
Current build put together in the mid 90s then newly released (now "old") STi.
Downshifts on the RH 8sp lever are a bit "sticky"... Anyone have any hints on getting the ratchet to release more consistently?

Here's my Soma Competition, from 1982 I think. Still need to find some chrome brake cable clamps and maybe a more appropriate post, but this bike is a joy to ride.

For sure, it's a bum up / head down position, but not that uncommon, surely?
ETA - iirc, the thinking at the time was smallest frame + long post + stem (I'd started to ride mtb by then, which was an influence). Within a few years the industry had responded with "compact" frames...

Until recently, the saddle was closer to the level, but there was an undue amount of pressure from the forward half of the saddle. The line of the sadle is now pretty much in line with the top of the bars - so I guess that the most comfotable saddle position (which this is) is a function of the low bars, high seat set-up...
That's my excuse anyway

I admit that I am clueless about many brands, this one included.
That being said, that's a proper looking racing bicycle.
Very nice work.
I had the opportunity to ride a CAAD10 in La Jolla last week while on vacation and I was very impressed.
Made me rethink current racing bicycles just a bit.

Correct. Wouldn't enter it in the local crit, but wouldn't hesitate to ride it across the country...

No. You'll be hit/miss, if that, on cogs. The FD will work fine.
Trade the RD for a Campy, and you'll be fairly good, even if the rear wheel/cassette is Shimano.
