New pedals, ditch the triple, cut the steerer and get bars that have a better shape.

"hmmmm...ghost the fork..Might have to gloss the ENVE lettering on the fork to
match the gloss Lynskey lettering, as the the fork is matte now. Good idea 2ndGen!"
Note:
Project CAAD9-? will be ready for it's "HorN" critique March 1st.

Well then! What are you waiting for!
I want to see that disgusting display of white off that fork and I want to see it replaced with an impeccable sample of fine Lynskey-grade lettering Marine!
I want to see my shoes reflecting on your graphics!
I want to be able to use said graphics as a mirror son!
Now, you get to it and re-post that turd of a fork ASAP done in the appropriate manner or I'm gonna rip out your arms from your sockets and beat you until you remember where it was that you went wrong with me boy!
Are we clear on that Marine!?!?!?

It's nit-picking at that point, but I just don't personally care for the wavy hooks/drops. Aesthetically anyway, I like a smoother shape.
