Cervelo=I'd hit it...Multiple times
Pinarello=Hot but can you get that stem with a white stripe instead of red so it flows better with that seatpost?

Solid Pinney. I'd say you were around 55deg before. Anytime you go from Shimano to Red, it is going to rate well. I give it a 100deg as it stands now. Nice improvement. However couple things. Why are the valve stems so long? If you put a neg 17deg stem, and cut the excess steerer off it would be another 20deg hotter or so.
I was thinking the red stripes on the handlebar and stem match the red stripe of the Fizik saddle.

Finished it. Don't mind the periscope, it will come down once my flexibility comes back a bit more. For now it's all pleasure cruise style!

Long legs, short torso?
Bike is hot, nicely done. My only niggle is the white hoods. Black would look better IMO.

Yes it is one year older. To polish I started with scotchbrite pad #7447 always going around the tubing in the same direction as it is brushed. Rememer when polishing that you are actually removing material, though it is a small amount. Make the groves almost non existant. Then use Mothers billet polish ( not mag and aluminum) and buff it in the same direction until your arms fall off......gloss finish!

Unique Vintage Steel
wrong. Even though there is plenty of evidence to the contrary already in this thread, I will repost a couple of my own for a refresher:
1986 Serotta Nova, repaint in 2005, Campagnolo mixed group, Campy Daytona/Ambrosio Excellight wheels
2011 Kirk Frameworks JKS-Classic Terraplane, currently pending paint. Complete photos to come April 2012.
And here's one seriously hot Kirk:

Not. Too much color in too many places. It's like I'm looking at the bike through a kaleidoscopic.

Unique Vintage Steel
I dig it, and I'm not typically a fan of the French vintage gear, but this one is very nicely put together. Can't tell if it is the photo or not, but the bars look ever so slightly angled down in the drops.
Far far far too many wheel decals for my tastes. If you just had one "Novatech" on each wheel, maybe just on the drive side even, then it'd be far better.

Handlebar is parallel to the ground at the bottom. It's looks a little tilted down because of the slope of the driveway and the bike being just a little bit offfrom parallel with the garage door.
I tried to make the build as interesting as I can by finding the highest grade/model French components from the early to mid 80's period like full Mavic SSC drivetrain mixed in with Spidel/Stronglight other bits.
I did make a compromise period-wise with the pedals and saddle They are new designs from Look Keo and Gilles Berthoud, because I wanted my riding interface with the bike to be close to the best I can find today.
