Sorry, OP, but I think that you're going to have to start over - the carbon weave on the wheelset doesn't match the weave of the frame/brakes/grouppo.

Geeeezzz ... even the tire tread matches the carbon fiber look. That is one sweet ride.
But .............. and I don't think this is even debatable ..... if you are going to use a computer, you need the carbon cycling computer shown below to finish the bike. Also, use a black permanent marker to carefully change the red button to black.

Oh, and if you decide to put a cage on this bike there is likewise only one cage for this beauty.

And what is that on the floor in the foreground? Did something fall off?

Just a nice daytime picture from today after a nice short 15 mile ride. Over all I'm really happy. The shifters need to be slightly adjusted I feel, but I'll tackle that in a few hours. The seat also needs to be raised a slight bit. Thanks for the kind words everyone.
Oh, and for the people asking...
-I am 5'10"
-Just graduated from college this past Saturday, but I've always worked a lot while in school (Acting, modeling, bartended, server, own my own titanium parts company, and swimming pool designer).....so money has never been an issue like most students...HOWEVER, that did all cause me to take 7 years to graduate haha!!
