Possible future for my bike.

I bought my bike about a year and a half ago with the intention of pimping it out. Or maybe not pimping. Pimping usually has to do with adding tons of stuff. More like simplifying my ride. Most parts I’ve bought over time. There was a lot of trial and error in this process.
My bike is a late 80s white Peugeot road bike. (From what I can find I think it’s called Tourmalet.) When I bought it it had most of the original parts, all Shimano grupo, Mavic rims, that kind of stuff. So far I’ve replaced the handle bars with Nitto bull horns from Ben’s Cycle, the saddle with a nice Brooks saddle from IRO, the bottom bracket and cranks with IRO parts from Orange 20, and the back wheel with a cheapo Alex Rims wheel from Coates. I’ve been looking into Velocity Deep-V Rims since the beginning because the are so hot, but I haven’t gotten up the courage to drop $300 on that yet. When I do I think I will put a blue on the front and a white on the back. I want the blue to closely match the top tube pad I bought from R.E.Load.
Well, the future is unknown. This is only one possible direction. Besides who needs Velocity rims, that just makes your bike more valuable to steal.
