I'd go for a Japanese/French Hybrid:
Cranks: TA Pro 5 Vis Triples Chain: Sachs Shifters: Simplex Retrofriction Brakes: Mafac Racers w/kool stops HS: Stronglight Delta Pedals: TA Saddle: Ideale 90
RD: Suntour VGT or Cyclone GT FD: Suntour Superbe pro Rims: Araya 700c rims Freewheel: Suntour winner pro Seatpost: SR Royal Bars: Nitto Olympiad Stem: SR Royal (suntour version)
Oh, and some wheelsmith spokes and clarks cables for good measure
Let the lambasting begin...
