Thanks people. It was a bit of a strange build, because the frame has such a crazy paintjob, but I think it's ended up looking pretty cohesive.
I still need to find a proper seat post though, probably with two bolts which should be easier to adjust. Currently the seat position feels like it's pushing me too far forward, so I'm putting a lot of weight on the handlebars. The current seatpost won't really let me adjust the angle further backwards.
Rogan: Yes, it's a 90mm Cinelli 1A.
Ernest: Looking at it, you're actually right, they are a bit too classic looking. I had them built up with straps and cages from a previous bike, so just put them on. More modern looking pedals would probably be the way to go.
The straps were such a pain to get in the pedals though, so I doubt I'll change it any time soon. And overall, it's a fairly minor thing, though now that you've mentioned it, I can't stop looking at them! Damn you :)
