I just did the same process a couple months ago with Stinner and totally get what you’re saying about the smoothness of the modern steel.
I too am not a fan of the colors, nor the seat mast. For me, it’s not hot, but it’s definitely a badass bike. Nice job!
Thank you!

LOL, I knew that I should have put my old saddle on for posing

Need some red anodized items elsewhere on the bike, like seat rails.
Handlebar finishing tape with white accents doesn't belong, solid black electric tape would make it better.
Good thought on the finishing tape. The Red hubs are from my extra wheels. The regular wheels have black hubs but just waiting for new tires (Tubeless).

I'm not sure yet but will weigh it next time I go to the LBS. I'm fairly sure that it will be a bit heavier than my Domane which I originally built pretty weight weenie style and came in at just over 15lbs with pedals and cages. I think this will be in the 16 range with the carbon wheels and Garmin Vector 3 pedals.

Thank you! Funny that you mention it, the tube changes shape as it draws down the bike but the oversize part (I thought) was barely noticeable.
