Looks beautiful! Just because I'm a retro-grouch, I'd suggest a Brooks B-15 (if you can find one) or a B-17 saddle. If you want to save a bit of weight and add a bit of flexibility, you might consider installing a newer aluminum triple crankset. Otherwise, the steel cottered Stonglight crankset you have will suffice. Even though the frame is Reynolds 531 plain guage, I still really like the way my SC rides. Happy cycling!
