Okay, so I made some modifications to make the bike look more classic. I do agree that some of the carbon parts like the stem, bars, and seatpost were clashing with the motif of the steel Colnago.
Swapped out the old carbon cages for some King Cage Ti

Replaced the carbon stem and bar for some Ritchey Classic counterparts
Took out the stock Colnago all-carbon post for the Thomson Masterpiece in Silver. I even swapped out my Aliante saddle for the Kurve Bull.
Only a half-pound gain over the old configuration. Not too shabby IMO!
After over a year of riding the Master, I can safely say this one is a keeper. Nothing rides quite like it and I can see it becoming a family heirloom. I love it!
