To me, its your build and your bike, you should choose what you feel works best for you. DD was my mentor, and guided me through my recent build, when I was being hard headed about the period correct stuff, and the Concour saddle, he told me that I needed to use what worked, and what got me riding, when I was ready. I got my head out of my ass, and found a new Selle Italia Turbo 1980 that is actually perfect and very comfortable. My hubs are Ofmega, NR copies, and they are staying, they ride smooth and look the part.

The seat post thing sounds like you have things in hand, pictures please, when you get a chance to post some. I have to admit that the NR, 2-bolt post was one thing I really wanted, scored one on eBay before I even got the frame from DD, had to get the correct seat tube size from him in order to not end up with a too small diameter post.

Good job, so far, watching this one to completion.
