That does look pretty sharp! I'm going to leave the stickers on for now, but who knows, they may disappear in time.

Are those bottle cages the really expensive titanium ones from that guy out in Colorado? Though I've spent money on this bike that didn't really need to be spent, I'm not yet ready to replace the aluminum bottle cages currently on the bike. They hold the bottles really tightly, and I'm happy with them. I did order a 35mm single-piece, sculpted titanium stem spacer from Ti Cycles to replace that stack of aluminum FSA spacers that it came with. I've also got a combo mount coming that will move the Garmin to a mount sticking out from the stem front plate, with the Niterider light mounted underneath it on a Gopro mount. That'll declutter the cockpit a bit, and get rid of an annoying bright spot in my near field vision from the light shining on the corner of the Garmin when I'm out riding at night, which I do at least a couple times per week.

I've also just got a couple of 46mm deep carbon rims from Light-bicycle in the China that I'll be building up for this bike, so it'll look a little different soon. I might put it up in "hot or not" once these changes are all done.

Gotta say that with these 32mm Compass tires and latex tubes the ride of this bike is just incredible. It's so much smoother than my old bike. It's like all the vibration I felt from crappy road surfaces and bumps and ridges and whatnot on the road is reduced to around 20-30% of what I felt with the old bike.
