Looks real good...proper 84!
I reckon a black Kashi repop will look loads better oh, and move the bars back a bit!  :daumenhoch:

I agree that a black seta of some sort would look better, I'm keeping my eyes open for an OG copy, I think that would suit the bike better than an expensive branded seat.
As for the bar position, I know that modern bikes are different, the geometry dictates the bar position really, but anyway this feels comfortable and BITD I always set my bars just about vertical.

Bars vertical is fine....in the first pic they look quite far forward in a position only Burner owners seem to adopt!  :daumenhoch:

nothing new - whether old or new school you don't want them too far forward or back  ;)
if you have enough leg room try lining them up to the front axles  :daumenhoch:

I checked with my spirit level, really, and they are spot on vertical.
I would say I'm a larger hombre at 6 foot and this frame could be longer, hence the seat post.
Next build I'm going for a longer race frame, but still old school I think 21" +, what would anyone suggest?
