Personally I think it looks great either way. But I think you should make your bike look how YOU want it too.

you know the tired cliche "f@@@k all the haters" ? well when "guys said and concurred that it was too much celeste going on" you should realize most of these "guys" are just over opinionated bike jerks (myself included) lol

yah i actually really dig the previous build. im sorry but the yellow just looks out of place. just my opinion.
and i like the bullhorns allot more ;p

yah man just go all out, unabashed celeste! molest it with celeste!

I'm diggin the yellow for something different.
I'm not into set back seat posts, but if it's comfortable I wouldn't let aesthetics get in the way. Bars are fine, stem looks a bit long, but again, if it fits right...
I would have liked to see black cranks though, and a piece of black tape on your steer tube behind that stem.

I'm not really feelin either build at all. So typical

not trying to be rude (honestly) but that's my feedback. Sick of deep rims, sick of matchy matchy, sick of black parts on celeste bikes, sick of thomson setback posts

I kinda agree about the Thomson stuff. A lot of great alternatives out there with a little bit more personality.
