Sorted Groupset for an unknown Ribble

[shakedown]

Hello Gents

I've just had an oldish Ribble steel frame beautifully resprayed by Rourke Cycles of Stoke.

I'm now need a complete groupset : looking for STI shifters rather than down tube . Rim Brakes and ideally long reach calipers ? I'm trying to approximate a thick tyred gravel bike for canal path rides ....

I like the idea of assembling a groupset bit by bit but those compatibility charts are Greek to me

What sort of age? Level?

I've a cheap and cheerful claris groupset (8 x 2 speed)

Shifters, crankset, mechs and Tektro calipers. And I've a cassette and chain I can include too

Got Shimano tiagra 10s shifters here, and probably a 32-11 (or 12,can't remember now!) 10s cassette too

I can't identify the frame. It didn't have 531 or Columbus decals so I'm assuming it's neither . Must be 20 years old from the state of the original paintwork.
Claris is more than good enough for me What sort of age / wear are we talking because I only want to build it once
