Modern groupset on a Retro frame - anyone done it

Re:

Upgrading my 97 Klein to 10 speed was a great improvement when my old shifters packed in working. Rides like a dream.

'95 Colnago Super Piu, Campag 9spd Record, Deltas, custom paint. Mish mash of old and new. I love this bike. Sorry, should have lined the wheel logos up and used a less sweaty phone camera...

 
Re:

Not sure whether this is relevant but I'm running my 1989 Raleigh Kellogs frame on modern wheels (CXP33) and a mix of 105 and Ultegra 9-speed with no issues 53/39 13/23

Going from 126mm to 130mm on the rear was not an issue.

This is an early 90's 531c frame with Campag Record 11 speed, Mavic Ksyriums, Ritchey classic finishing kit and a red Brooks swallow. I think it turned out ok

1997 Colnago Oval Titianio with 2015 Campagnolo Chorus 11 speed. Appreciating the subtle control that modern technology brings to a riding a bike with a delicate handling.
