Nice bike.
I recommend replacing the saddle because you'll smooth out the suede finish by using it, which is a concern if you're thinking of reselling. More importantly, those suede saddles look nice but we're a bad idea. Try it, and you'll see what I mean. It's too hard to slide on it, and only a suede saddle will show you how important sliding is. I have a suede saddle on one bike, and since the shape is good enough, I have a Lycra cover over it.
