HOT.
details on the build? Ti frame or Stainless steel?
maybe take a red magic permanent marker/paint to the yellow VP one plug on the bebop pedals to give it a tiny red accent?
wow... just wow...
EDIT:
I just wanted to add a picture of my bike to possibly have the first, and probably only, time two bikes that have bebop pedals have been presented sequentially, in this thread:

Figured I'd post a pic while the bar tape was still fresh. 
I installed the Deda Newton shallow-drop bars and thought I'd try something different w/ the white tape. I also de-stickered the wheels because I wasn't a big fan of the massive white Campagnolo stickers that basically turned the black rims white. The frame lettering and bar tape is already enough white IMO. I'd really like to get some 303s on this thing, but that isn't happening any time soon.

Lovely bike, but the prep needs work. Namely, the gap in the bar wrap at the brake levers, the angle of the handlebar (tilt so the drops are nearly horizontal, then move control levers higher), and, of course, the black seat post.
By the way, your bar will stay wrapped longer if you go in the other direction, from inside to outside as you wind up the bar. Practice the double figure-8 move around the control levers assiduously.

The seatbag is a tool roll by Mopha. They made a one-off for me sans leather. While no bike looks better with seatbag, I got tired of carrying everything in my pockets. I wanted to keep it classy though. I like it. It fits a multitool, levers, tube, and mini-pump.

The engraving on the seatstay bridge is ultracool!

^ basically
my friends company G.S. Astuto is a direct rep for a factory and the frames are basically open mold frames that he tweaked a little bit. The prices are really nice and it rides really well. Compared to a lot of the bikes we sell at the shop I work at its a really good value and perfect for me as a college student.
