I know fit is different for everyone, but you might want to consider moving the angle of those bars down a tad.
Did the PO also give you the original saddle? If so, guard it closely- they are worth quite a bit.
Thanks for the decal offer! I'll see how the search and find process pans out. I really felt the need for that extended length today on the road. Also, you mentioned the bar angle....I actually did adjust it downward a touch today. Much better, although the brifters feel/seem to have been installed a little on the high side. When I re-wrap the bars, I may make a slight adjustment to those too.
Sadly, no original saddle.
