I'm of the same mind on that. I do have an old Dura Ace 13-28 7 speed freewheel that I'll put on as it's a little hilly where I live and I'm just not the man I used to be. It's been a while since I've ridden a 42 x anything. I'll try and get used to the Turbo saddle again but the reality is I'll probably put a Power Pro on it. The pedals and saddle will definitely take away from the vintage look but I draw the line at my comfort. The bars and stem can stay because all I ever rode was Cinelli bars and stems. As soon as the weather gets foul I'll take everything off, clean the frame, apply frame saver and reassemble it.

IF, and that's a big "if", upgrade it, I'd probably source a chrome Colnago Precisa fork that's threadless; I have a NOS Record threadless headset hidden away. Then I'd put a complete modern Super Record 11 or 12 speed group on it and the appropriate bars and stem. The old Super Record seat post would have to stay as a tribute. But, when I look at and ride the bike I just can't see that happening.
