Orca above... red cable up front and nowhere else seems to scream for some color matching somewhere else. Uninspiring chainring/wheels, as an object of art that is, am sure they perform superb. A dab of gold accents here/there to complement the black would be good 4me.
jsmith, usually I'm with you on the traditional frames (Masi, Mondonico, Woodrup, and Trek in my house), but I think an Orca is just sex on wheels! There's a pink and black one in town here owned by a fast woman, and seeing it with her on it is a treat!

If you can see one in person, do so, then see if you think they haven't done something special.
