Help me choose parts for my NEW Red Steel Fierte

[MarleyMon]

Today I received my NOS 2004 steel Fierte; the frame came w/ an uncut Kestrel EMS Pro OS fork,
a frame genealogy card signed by Ben and Team Serotta, and a warranty card!
I am so excited - I own a new Serotta, its all steel and its red!

I want your suggestions on a couple of things. First, I need a headset.
I've never heard anyone regret installing a Chris King and I'm thinking of silver.
I have a brushed aluminum stem (Ritchey Pro) that I'm planning to use - it really matches the seatpost collar and decals nicely.
Is there a Chris King like this or another quality headset with this brushed aluminum finish? Or use the (sorta shiny) silver King and maybe brushed spacers?
Is there a seatpost with this look? or could I use black?

I have some Dura Ace 9 speed bar end shifters I want to use. What Aero brake levers do you suggest? Are there 26.0 handlebars that work well w/ the barcons? (I'm wondering about something like the Salso Bell Lap that flare out in the drops).

Any other suggetions are welcome!

The Oval stuff does look nice and they have a 27.2 seatpost that is 350mm.
I'll need almost 220mm of post showing for my saddle height - whats the minimum that should be in the seat tube?
