Modern groupset on a Retro frame - anyone done it

[rochester21]

Wow kingbling, amazing metallic pink bike you got there. "Candy" metallic pink frame+silver trim= a bike to die for. I hate black on a bike.

I`ve been thinking for a while now about respraying a frame to that exact same color, but i`m afraid to mess it up or to let someone else mess it up....

Thanks a good body shop would be able to do it.

Here's the build thread for it.

Re:

More candybikes:Modernized Rossin with Columbus Aelle frame tubing(1990 ?) and Campagnolo Veloce 10-speed shifting.
Bought this one quite cheap with full Campagnolo Athena group,6-speed friction shifters and tubular wheels.The idea was to make it easier to ride with lighter gears(39-48/13-29),ergopower shifting and Fulcrum clincher wheels.
I tried to save as much of the original Athena components as possible.
