I'll give it a Hot. Simple yet elegant. Like the Sandra Bullock of Beauty. Some find her incredibly attractive, while others are attracted to more "Pizzazz". We all get attracted to big and bold, but sometimes its nice to peal back all the "Unnecessary" things that traditionally make a bike stand out from the norm.
My only personal choice would be to change out the seat post. Only because that seatpost has never been pleasing to me aesthetically.

Edit P.S. - Do you have a red bike to match the twin Lambo in the background?

Have you though about Fizik Soft Touch tape, to match the saddle?

Nah, I like the Pro tape, lasts a long time. Still not certain I'm keeping that saddle, may try a Selle SMP.

Good bike, LOVE the color, Good set up. Even though I sometimes agree that less is more, I feel like it is too simple. Thats just MY personal thought. I think what separates a nice custom designed frame and just custom paint is the design itself. without seeing this in person, this could pass for a rattle can paint job with some vinyl stickers thrown on. As mentioned above, you could still easily throw some small lines on the fork/seat stays or possibly paint the inside of the fork. Its lovely as is, but could use something more if it were my own.
