Thanks. I love the bike. Before the powertap and with the tubulars, it was under 6kg. Frame weight with the collar, bolts, and der hanger was 850g. And it's comfortable and as stiff as my BMC.

I do think its a is a good looking bike, however I am not a fan of the silver stem nor the gold cables. As for the seatpost, I'd go Ti, I had one on my Lynskey and it looked really good, but the black works as well.
Everything screams hot aside from the stem really...

I did did fix the housing at the rear dérailleur, as well as the b tension. Looks a lot better to me. I'm tempted to leave the Thomson alone for now, since my seat is perfect.

I'd do a black stem to match the seatpost, personally.

Yeah black decals would minimize it - still a sweet bike.

Yeah, I noticed it after the pic and fixed it. Needed to adjust b tension so I could get a 90° insertion. Was able to trim about 4". Still a bit long, but much nicer.

I can only think of this:

You did see what I posted about this horrible pic earlier right. 
Like I said - this is what I post after I had some drinks on a Friday afternoon/evening, lol. Craptacular poorly staged cell phone pic. It is the Hot r Not thread so I deserve what I got commin'. 
-Lack of garmin/ugly speed sensor on fork
-Mismatched groupset Meh - I always mismatch my groupsets. Never bothered me or a lot of others aesthetically. Starting from the first bike in this thread.
-Dirty bar tape
-Bottle cages that aren't ArundelNot a fan of Arundel cages. Don't think they're anything special. I do like the Blackburns I have
-Fuji I have ALWAYS loved SST's. I really dig the metallic blue on matte black color scheme on this one. Have a thing for blue in case no one has noticed.
-Saddle bag given - part of the crappy pic I took. Oh trust me I can do more with that
-Oval components Not sure what the beef is here. The wheels did suck but got rid of them. No choice with the seat post - it is proprietary. Stem and handlebars are ok. Really want some 3T Aeronova handlebars though - love the shape. Might as well get a 3t stem at that point I guess.
-Disaster of cabling up front Ok - guess I could do better there. This is stock with the bike though.
-Rear derailleur housing too long Don't agree with you on this. Think it is about right
-Stem spacer tower - Really short head tube on the bike. Still pretty healthy saddle to bar drop in the pic, but am getting rid of some spacers soon

.....and a new build for my wife,
Stripped and rebrushed an old frame, and put new stickers on, green scheme was her idea. TT seat and carbon post is temporary. Considering a polished Thomson.
