Assuming the seat tube angle is the same, I don't see how the size of the frame will affect where he sits relative to the BB since it'll be the same distance from saddle to BB on any size bike. If the seattube angle changes, then it can affect fore/aft positioning, but that doesn't always change between sizes.
You put the seat at the height your legs dictate, same with fore/aft. You don't adjust saddle height for drop nor reach.

Blue cables maybe?
Some sort of something blue on seat/bars?
Blue skewers would look good.

IMO, its not a matter of something missing. Its a matter of it already being overdone. The blue tires make it look tacky. a bike that is by all means sexy but the way it stands in this picture is as a not for me.

Oh and I do like the Williams 30s very much, I'm going to try something new though very soon.
I was also asked about the blue stripe, that is pin stripe tape, and will also be coming off ;-)

I think I agree with this.... The bike is already very busy as it is.... I think the color just adds to the mess of what's going on.... I think it will soon go back to a bit more stealthier mode.

I'd like to see that bike with black tires but leave the blue pinstripe on. I like the idea of a little accent. maybe if the tape was thinner it would be a little more subtle?
