I know you were just getting it "on the road"...but that front wheel REALLY stands out...and not in a great way...look forward to seeing pics of it with a more appropriate wheel. I am not usually one to say anything like this...but...it just jumped off the page at me!
I do think you have a stellar bike here however! And...realize that the wheel got you rolling on it!

Dream score! I know you can hardly do better than a Rolls San Marco but are you considering a different saddle? All the different yellows are fighting with each other. My useless opinion is black saddle/black tape will anchor the colour scheme down. White is also an option however the pristine white tape would make the hoods look dirty.
I think you're right about the white tape. To me, steel Italians cry out for it.

Cobalto vs. Super Record.
Both calipers are identicle.
Cobalto calipers have the Campagnolo script filled in with blue.
Cobalto calipers have white rubbers on the adjusters
Cobalto calipers have center nuts that accept blue plastic 'jewels'
There's a seller on Ebay who has very nice reproduction jewels with the little lip. It's well worth acquiring the proper center nut.
SUPER RECORD
COBALTO
