Congrats on the new group set! It'll serve you well. This is a great time to do a complete teardown on the bike, clean it and re-build it fresh.
I'd suggest stripping the bike down to its bare essentials, including disassembling the pivots. Check the bearings especially for wear, as those often get missed. The only thing you might not be able to get out is the headset cups, which are pressed into the frame. Don't worry about those, but do take apart the headset and grease the bearings.
For lubrication and fluids, I'd suggest getting a can of
Tri-Flow and a tub of Teflon Grease (Doesn't need to be that big). Use the teflon in: Bottom Bracket Threads, Headset and a little in the seatpost. These will help prevent those parts from seizing over time.
Use the Tri-Flow in all the pivots, sealed bearings and other moving parts. On the bearings, dribble a bit on the plastic seal and then spin it... you will feel a difference immediately.
I don't know if you've bought this too, but invest in some new cable and housing while you're at it. Make sure to replace both at the same time, since new cables will be ruined by worn housing and vice versa. These should be replaced every year or so anyway and since it's going to be completely apart, you might as well.
Hope this helps and feel free to message me if you have questions or run into trouble... I do this a lot.
In the shop we use [Cyclus PTFE grease](
https://www.bike24.com/p215991.html), at home I have Finish Line PTFE grease, Liqui Moly marine grease and Nigrin Multi Purpose grease for general use. I have several speciality greases as well.
I’ve started using Teflon bicycle lube. It never dries out!
