Hot, of course.
One minor suggestion, though: how about a matte black seatpost and stem, like Enve?

Wow, I don't want to go anywhere near close to the Crumpton. Do you have to wear nomex clothing to ride that thing?

Thanks, but mine is nowhere close to yours. What's the weight on that beauty, and is your battery internal? I think you may have the hottest bike on BF. Congratulations sir. Normally I would complain about the staging, but that doesn't apply here.

White Lightweight logos would make that Crumpton super hot. No need to change the seat post because the Deda logos would be tied in. Could use a Deda zero100 Servizio corse stem to match though. Nice ride either way.

6.23 kilos atm. I have Fibulia brakes on order so I think I can drop it another 170-180 grams with lighter cables. I would love to get it under 6 kilos.no its mounted on the downtube. If you look hard you can see it behind the crank.

Oic. Sub 6 would be awesome with Di2. I disagree with the comment about the LW logos. They look great as is. If I would change anything, it would be a Calfee Bar-Stem, and a Berk SLR Post Combo, with a Calfee internal battery. All of that is totally unnecessary, but would make it perfect in my opinion, not to mention totally custom, and most likely sub 5888g, or 13lbs. The battery is pretty well hidden as it.

Thanks Folks!
Agree on some dark chainrings, but I have to say, what's on there shifts pretty nice. I really didn't want to post a pic till I knew it raced well, which it does. Being used to Shimano shifting is why I went with it, and at my old age, old habits are hard to change. I did go with Sram Red/Black brakes.
It corners on a rail, and is far more stable than my Ridley. It rides smooth, but seems to jump nicely. The fellow in Denver that built it up for me stated the quality was first rate, and as I wipe it down, and I study it, I agree. I consider myself lucky finding out about November bikes, and Dave and Mike were awesome to deal with.
I'm just fortunate to have something to post up here with all your gorgeous bikes.

Had a chance to snap a decent picture after this morning's ride:

Changed saddle, stem, bar tape to black (and saved some weight too!)
Was too lazy to put my carbon wheels on, but I ride my Psimets 99% of the time anyways. Next is a carbon compact spider and Praxis 52/36 chainrings when they release them

Oh my that Tarmac is getting quite toasty, hot indeed! Tsunami isn't too bad either. Not hot yet, but pretty warm.
