Not for me. Brooks saddle doesn't go with the build. Flip it. Chain not in the big ring. And go outside with the bike and put it up against a wall that is shaded and get a pic of the full bike. It is a bike that could be hot though.

That bar tape just stinks for me. Black bar tape would be interesting.

+1, the bar tape is trying to hard to look good, if you will. Awesome bike though.

spot on. a more fitting saddle and a proper picture would give this thing some potential. the frame looks great and you can rarely go wrong with campy.

Tape is terrible, shame cause the bike is hot.

JPM 06-02-12 04:19 PM

Pinarello inspired me to put some vintage up:
Just got it back from a tune-up including new bartape and shiny-stem. Reminded me of a discussion re: black and silver parts. I think silver parts can look good on some bikes.

I like everything except the bartape.
I'd go solid black,red,or white to match your saddle.

After several months of waiting for all of my components and frame to converge, I present to you the 2012 Orbea Orca Gold dressed in 2012 SRAM Red. Everything is new with the exception of my wheels, pedals and handlebar.
