I can envision carbon stem, modern rims, probably black tape because there's just too much white right now. The chainring is ugly AF for sure. Curious what others see.
Clean bike, Nice staging, nice color scheme. I imagine it rides nice. Honestly I like the crankset. It’s different. The wheels are boring. Ritchey zetas might make it pop, Carbon wheels would improve the ride, but personally skittish on carbon with rim brakes. Not sure if it’s super hilly where you are but bad things can happen.
Cockpit could be an upgrade, but honestly if you like the way it rides, why change it.
