What are you trying to achieve? A practical, modern upgrade or a sympathetic refurb?
I recently had bottle cage bosses added and the threaded steerer replaced with a threadless one (is that an adapter with an Ahead stem you have) as I wanted to make it more usable.
But judging by the paint scheme you're considering, I guess it's the latter option.
Either way, new wheels (with wider rims) would be on my shopping list but assuming you'd want to stick with silver, box section rims that would mean getting some H+Son TB14 built up: I don't know of any OTP wheels that fit the description.
Modern components in silver are thin on the ground, but Nitto Noodle are a lovely bar for longer rides and have a classic bend: 92mm reach.
