A not from me. I don't think gumwalls suit this bike, nor do I understand the point of having a super-aggressive position combined with very flared out bars. I think the chainrings are pretty ugly too.
Some less eccentric black rings, normal handlebars and plain black tyres and I think it'd be gorgeous.
EDIT: So it's the way that you've attached the hoods, and not the bars themselves. My point still stands.

Your hoods are funny.

By the way, saw a few of those today on the Gran Fondo New York and it struck me - other bikes may be hotter when studied, but that has to be one of the best looking bikes as encountered the road.

Can cross bikes play?
Hand me down frame and bar tape from a buddy I've done a lot of work for. Partsbin wheels, stem post and saddle, 6800 from PBK (the three week wait was AWESOME) and some ebay cantis. Have yet to ride it in anger but first impressions are incredibly positive, both about the frame and the group. I do have a feeling that the stem will be scaled down and maybe swapped to a 0-6 degree instead of the 130mm, 10 degree jobbie I have on there right now.

All I've got is the quill adapter. Other than that, it's about perfect.
That said, other than a one-off winter bicycles stem, I have yet to find a 1" quill 31.8 clamp stem, so I can't hate on it THAT much.

Yeah, I ran it with the original Cinelli 1A that was on the bike when I got it 20 years ago or so, but I was having issues with the fit. I went with the quill adapter setup so that I could easily swap stems of different length til the fit was dialed. I guess it didn't bother me as much as I thought it would, so it stayed on.
