Orange c16 project

Ok, so I'm having my resprayed Orange c16 frame and fork back next monday after being resprayed by Bob Jackson. Was originally green but I have done it in orange with black transfers.
Now my dilemma is this. I have got mostly shimano 1990's xt components but the crankset is a modern stronglight triple. Very nice but I'm not sure if I want this. I'm looking round for an xt chainset but cant decide which way to go. Do I stick my stronglight on to see how it looks. What would you guys do? 8)

Keep it retro of course..... 8)

No advantage using a modern chainset, I'd probably just buy XT crank arms (M737 are the pick of the era IMO) and some new chainrings to fit (bargains to be had online) - basically a new chainset done on the cheap :D
 
I'm looking for mint condition xt cranks in silver. Been offered black ones but they seem to show every scratch. Stupid prices on some of this stuff. Saying that I've spent a lot to date. Wasted money on the stronglight chainset and BB although if I sell this I might get an xt. I'm in no rush to build the frame. just build as I go along. Got plenty of parts I can build on anyway.
