I would use black rims to work with the black seat post, stem, tape, crank, etc.

That and a deep drop bar to make it a bit more proportional. But it still is pretty much as hot as you can get with such a large frame.

Edit creds to @Fiery

Congrats on the build and century, but the bike is not hot.

Bit of a classic feel going on around here. Just finished my resto-mod this weekend. Vintage Reynolds 531 frame and Mavic GL330s, the rest is all modern. Even had some fun with the custom paint.
Weighed in at only 7.445kg (16lb 6.6oz.)

Sorry, not hot. Nothing flows, I don't like it.

I might take another picture since the perspective on this one is a bit weird (I'm not sure why, either). Great bike, though. Stiff but comfy.

Hmmm, Great components, has all the right ingredients. But does it look hot? No!

You know you can quote more than one post at a time, right?

Upon incorporating some of your comments, I am re-posting my 2003 Litespeed Arenberg. I completed the Ritchey WCS set by replacing my 70mm stem with a 90mm, which is the longest I can use comfortably. I also centered the saddle over the seat post better and I adjusted the handlebars. I am curious to see how the wheels would look blacked out, so if there are any PS ninjas out there, can I get an assist? Thanks!

Hopefully you made the changes you've outlined to improve the fit of the bike rather than succumb to the often moronic comments in this thread.

70mm stem with a 90mm
Huge jump considering you have your seat far forward? How did it look like before this new fancy stem?

Don't sacrifice comfort for style. It's idiotic.

Let it rip... Just finished the build

Super short stem with no setback seatpost. I'll go with not.

I like it, but you could dump the setback seatpost at this point, provided your saddle is more or less in the right spot for you in this setup.

Given the lack of logos on the frame, the wheels don't bother me. Go. Figure.
