The stem and steerer I totally agree, just didn't want spacers on the top for the photos tbh, I think I will drop it and have 2x5mm spacers underneath.
I have used SMP on uprights before, and it's what the PedalMe riders use and have recommended to me. I will swap it as soon as I get my hands on a cheap Cambium C17 cutout but it was free so can't complain.
I can see what you mean about the chainset, doesn't go with the rest of the build. I am thinking about a chainset like this:
Why do you say silver? I think it would clash with the rest of the black components no?
The pedals are Deore XT, get your glasses checked ;)

Id start with a stem a few degrees down so it's level and maybe not at the top of steerer stack when already on top of a 200cm head tube. Do SMP saddles even work when sat so upright? I've got one on my beater and it needs me to sit as a specific angle. The chainset is too modern and chunky, anything more retro would look better, and silver too. While I'm here the OEM Halfords pedals distress me.
