If planning on selling... well, I'd have to be up-front about it, and frankly that would detract from the value of a good restoration, so I'd go with the originals.
Plus...even if you're honest, that person might not be when/if they re-sell. Although you were scrupulous, you still might, inadvertently, send a disguised bike among the population.
