My vote for a classic lugged frame would be an all-silver group: http://ruedatropical.com/2010/07/2011-all-silver-campagnolo-athena/
Yes it's 11 speed. Get over it. Gear it as you like, I'd use 50-34 and 12-29 because our local hills can get really steep. Silver White Industries hubs, Velocity A23 rims (silver if available), spokes to your liking. Sapim CX-Rays are supposed to be great, but they don't come cheap. Challenge Paris-Roubaix or Grand Bois tires (or Jack Browns, or Vittoria Randonneur Hypers if you need more flat resistance). Whatever handlebar fits you. I really like the new generation compact bar shapes, but they all come in 31.8 and black. A Soba or one of the Grand Bois bars would be classic and classy. Nitto threadless stem. Handlebra tape to match your saddle of choice. Ti B17, anyone? Seatposts are problematic. I would want micro-adjusting and silver which is a rare combo any more. The Nitto Jaguar would be nice, but not especially light. The VO is OK, but I can't get the nose low enough with some frame/saddle combinations. It also depends on your saddle and the setback you need. Banana bag or some variant on that shape. Gee, its fun spending other people's money!
