It's better to know what your frame is capable of having put on it. Essentially you need to know the dropout and fork end spacing, and the BB shell width and inside diameter and threading if it's threaded. A few other things, but those don't get replaced as often.

Then you can find all sorts of new modern stuff to put on it depending on your budget.

I'm ok with that too . My budget is pretty flexible, as this is more of a trip down memory lane for me. It was the first thing I bought once I had a job in high school!
