But again; it's still a bike wanting to look like something it isn't! Fake it till you make it :-)
Which makes me think of a similar bike: the Batavus Champion Delta! It is more 80's than the Kildemoes Cobra, but same concept:
rather cheap model aimed at young people who wanted the look of a fancy race bike. Again, with eyelets for mudguards and a 'Batavus 2008' branded (cheap) tubing. And while the frame design is quite close to the Professional time trial bike, Batavus went even more extreme with a 24" front on the cheap bike!

Black is definitely the way to go....on the other hand, IMO the Batavas bikes are nothing to sneeze at. While I have not been a complete fan of the 24" wheel the last one would be a welcome addition to my stable Cinelli Volare saddle and all!
It looks to be all business as a TT with the large front chainring and flat disc.
