I don't see any hi-res pics... just a bunch of 600px wide, grainy, pixelated shots.

I liked the carbon seatpost/stem better. Although the setback seatpost was a bit awkward. I see nothing wrong in mixing technologies.

A little subconscious slip revealing how you really feel about changing from the carbon to aluminum seat post and handlebars? 
Beautiful bike though. Same goes for the red and white De Rosa that was posted earlier. Aesthetically, I like your new component changes better than the originals. I'm glad that you enjoy it so much. I'm building up a red and white Eddy Merckx MX Leader, and I'm really looking forward to putting some major mileage on it this year!

I think the CF looked fine, but thought the seatback seatpost looked awkward.
A seriously beautiful bike either way, though.

I always liked it with a Carbon Campy seatpost....
In fact. I liked this so much. I got one as well... I'll add some pictures when I get a chance to take some.

Lovely bike.
But I have to be honest, I think the black seatpost and stem are a better, more uniform look. It doesn't have to be carbon, but I would keep it black.
I hear Thomson offers both in black.

It was the Aero shapes that didn't seem to fit before, not the fact that it was black.
oh...and Nice Bike!

They just had a Neo Primato for sale on bonktown for $1100ish. If they would have had my size it would've been a done deal.
I agree with BillyD, black is better. But, it would be tough to make that bike look bad. I don't mind the carbon either.
Regardless, beautiful bike.
