The bar tape is atrocious, but I like it otherwise.
Have you adjusted everything so it fits properly? Looks like you could cruise sitting fully upright with your current setup

Bar tape looks fine.. the blue is a pretty close match. The speedplays are a good bit lighter, though. Of course, people here will crucify you for it, but my thought is that they're under your feet, so who cares.
Nice bike. Get it dialed in, cut the excess steer tube and ride it in good health.

Not bad....Not bad at all.
I assume you are gonna do something with that steerer....Fell free to post some more pics after final trimming.
And as for the CF?....I've got none CF bikes and do just fine
