This bike will stay original.
I'm fully aware this is the C&V forum but besides steel frames and forks, vintage parts do nothing for me. Some vintage cranksets look stunning but any bb type older than hollowtech 2 is a deal breaker for me.
I prefer mechanical modern parts and the fact that all you need to work on/service modern bikes is a cassette/bb tool and a set of allen keys.
As far as headsets go, there's no contest: threadless sealed bearing headsets all the way.
