I decided to keep the steel stem and bars on mine. Just used to them, I guess. I think I replaced the levers with Weinmann, but I'd have to look to be sure. After crashing one time too many with the steel rims in the rain, I swapped the Chromix rims for 700c alloys and run a Sturmey Archer Steelite drum brake in the front and probably a Dia-compe side pull in the rear. I have to go up in the garage attic today, so I can check what I did 35/40 years ago.
