Thanks!
Biggest problems after the powder two tone - odd ball head tube inside diameter. I wanted to raise the bars higher than the super shorty that came stock. I think it's like a 21.8mm or 21.9mm. I took some emery clothe to my NITTO Technomic high riser and removed a bit of metal.
And the seatpost was smaller than standard, so I had to get a '70s track seatpost from eBay to get the seat up a bit more.
Next I'll probably add a rack & fenders. Another board member gifted me a Pletscher rat trap rack. I'll "bodge" it to the bike some how...
