I'd go for the white tape and saddle that they have on there. I don't ride in denim much at all and my white Fizik Aliante has not shown any major scuffling or marks in a couple of years.
The white bar tape they're using is luxuriously padded and grippy. It's really nice. So nice that my girl is now getting that on her Thorn Audax bike.
As you've had a fitting are you not going to have the saddle that worked best in the fitting put on? Surely that would be the best thing?
And the Brooks. Don't go for aesthetics over function. It's your arse, back and knees and comfort that are involved and it's never worth gambling with. If you don't have a saddle that works for you, feel free to try anything else including a Brooks. But if you've got something that is already heavenly then don't change it.
