I would see this done on high end builds, and it makes me think that it just looks so incomplete.
And that Litespeed isn't bad, crank sticks out like a sore thumb, as does that yellow tape. Just doesn't seem to flow even though it sort of matches and I can see why they picked that.

I have an Ultimate on the the stand for a rebuilt, those will likely be the bars to mate with my Litespeed 1" threadless Ti stem.

Wish I had a Litespeed ti stem for my build, but I got it as a frame (no fork even) so I used a new Nitto Dynamic alloy stem. It's in a custom 1" threaded Wound Up fork.

Your built inspired me, I have the ultimate on the back burner since last fall.
The nitto stem and wound up fork really complemented the natural Ti finish. The Bars really modernized the entire look.
Great Job.
