Those look nice, aluminum incl stays help cut some weight too. Looks like you laced up the Brooks saddle.

That way, you don't lose a water boss for the pump.

The Brooks is the "antiqued" model that comes laced. It came stock on my 2008 Raleigh One Way.

I don't actually own a set of Woody's; I'd worry about 'em getting damaged while being packed into the S & S airline case which is a tight fit with big Surly Trucker frame. Some friends used to know an old-timer that rode a track bike around w/wooden rims. In Germany I saw a lot of mountain bikes (used for city riding) mounted with those motocross-type fenders which don't even fit very close to the tire. I'd have thought they wouldn't block spray very well but maybe they're a lot better than no fenders.
PDW makes great stuff but I am skeptical of their fenders still just because of the Excalibur which needs some major redesign time to make it more durable and forgiving so it doesn't just crack and split. However a full fender is probably just fine since it has more mounting points other than just on the seat post and you aren't really stressing it with getting on and off.
