Have been loving this thread for a while now. Here's my work in progress:

Tried out the TRP levers and just couldn't get comfortable on them. Not to mention they are ugly as sin, gnarled and misshapen in every dimension of space and time. And while I loved the style of the old huret downtube shifters, I got a good deal on some campagnolo ergopowers. So I caved, and down the rabbit hole I've gone.. Berthoud saddle was my latest acquisition. B17 imperial was very comfy out of the box, but almost too much so for a leather saddle. Great for upright riding, but for me a bit of a perineum-prodder if you want to lean forward much. Anyway, I'm happy with the form, not sure about the colors..what do you guys think about some black on the seatpost and stem? Or should I keep those as shiny bits?
