It will need to have a longer steerer than most of the used forks will have.

I checked out King Bottle cages. Cool little company out of a garage. Are you affiliated with them?

Nope, just understand they are the cage to have on a nice classic style bike. The stainless ones actually aren't that expensive.

Yeah I love the look! I ordered two of them for the bike! Thanks for recommendation. Now I just have to find some Eddy Merckx Bottles!

Update-
So as suggested, I’ve changed the bar tape to black and changed the seat post to chrome. Much improvement! Next are the Saddle and the pedals! Thanks all for the help!
Also ordered the King Iris Bottle Cages!

Nice bike. First one I've seen with the same frame/color scheme as mine.
