Wow, that is very cool. So many details to take in.
At first I saw the stem and bar colour and thought - no. But now I like it.
I would personally go with a black saddle as it’s a bit more subdued colour, but the blue is also ok - it ties in with the blue on the bars.

WOW! Thats one visual feast for your eyes! That’s one very special machine Roy and love that Paul Brodie helped rescue it beyond its former glory.

That saddle’s a beauty. I like it and think it works. Most would probably say swap it for a black saddle, but it’s down to personal taste/preference. I think this bike deserves a coloured saddle as this ain’t no ordinary machine! It’s an extraordinary machine!

Fantastic work Roy (and Paul). I really like the saddle and the colour doesn't look out of place. My only negative thought is that it looks a bit bulky, compared to the slender nature of the frame tubes

With a blue saddle it transports me back to this bike which is a good thing IMO!

This bike is a sight to behold.
Fantastic

I’ve got a couple following along this path. Ken Beach just finished replacing the seat tube in this one. Funky paint on yours, stands out for sure.
