I have a 1989 vintage Eisentraut bike that I plan to upgrade to campy parts. Does anyone know what
component groups (7 speed hub, 126mm) would be appropriate for this age bike?

Respacing the rear triangle to 130mm is exactly the right thing to do. On a nice bike like that I
would be sure to have a good mechanic or frame builder do it.

Record or Chorus parts would certainly not be out of place on it. Nothing wrong with Centaur either
if you can't afford one of the more shiny groups.

C-Record. while not as technically wondrous as the new ergostuff, you can't beat it for beauty.
(imho, of course. i just like its fluid curves better than the old traditional stuff.)

We sold Eisentraut Rainbow Traut frames in that era with Record, Croce d'Aune and the early version
of Chorus all with Syncro-II. You might also seriously consider a friction lever of the era.
Campagnolo rims of the era would be a nice touch.

C-Record friction shift levers are some of the prettiest I've ever seen but get a modern
derailleur...

C-Record/Delta would be great....
