Don't worry about the small components etc. I changed mine out a long time ago & over the years-except for the tires as that will be done soon. I added a new Sturmey/Archer metal traditional shifter as the one that came with mine was simply awful about a month later after purchase my new bike then. I also added my 98mm rather weird-but works well for me at least-version of the Easy Wheels as I thought the ones offered then in 2005 was too small for my tastes.
