The stem looks good, but do you see what I'm talking about with the angle of the stem? There are less spacers and the bar is the same height. I didn't move the bars at all, just rotated them. I would not put a red stripe on the seat post. All your red lines are horizontal or around your tires. Having a line vertical would break the lines visually to me.
I put black hoods and a carbon toupe saddle on for you. Personally, I think the black hoods, black cages , black saddle, black seatpost and the 3t stem combo looks best.

I haven't had a grin on my face like this since I bought my first mountain bike 20 years ago. It's just fun. It's also surprisingly capable- ride this thing into a lawn from pavement and it barely slows down and the ride barely changes. It's a bizarre feeling, like it just doesn't matter what you're rolling over. I had it out on singletrack yesterday, and I didn't even think to worry about the rocks and roots that were obscured by leaves.

My guess is you have a 17deg stem which is flipped. You have a high stack and a stem that is very level. If you had a 6 degree stem it wouldn't be as flat. Therefore you could take out some spacers and have more of an angled stem which would put your bars in roughly the same position/height. Like i said, it is not something necessary, but aesthetically, I PERSONALLY prefer seeing a 6 deg. Since your top tube has such a slope, I think a 6deg would LOOK better in my very personal opinion. There are a lot of folks that love the look of a 17deg stem.
If you look at my stem compared to yours, you can see that it has more of a rise and yours is more flat.

Not. Derailleurs don't match calipers or crankset - need to be black. Ugly saddle with stuck up nose. Uncouth deep bars. Red hubs, why? Also looks like a tumour is growing under your shifter hood. WTF? Nice, shiny chain though. I'd be interested in trying an S works Toupe. I think they look better and are lighter as well. Just dont know how my butt would like it. As for the Tumor...It's not a tumor (In my best terminator voice), the rubber button wasn't lined up properly to the shifter when I put them back on, but has been fixed.

, I have been thinking about a bar change. I like them, but Thought about a more shallow drop with less ergo. I really like the zipp contour SS bar, but would have a tough time having enve wheels with Ritchey stem and seatpost and zipp bars.. The Red hubs is what came on the wheels I bought from the wheel builder. It was a newer demo set and she gave me a great deal. The saddle....eh, its not the best looking saddle, but its the first one to fit me well.

Bianchi, I had never had the pleasure of ogling your steed. I like. TBH though, if she were mine, I'd buy a red anodized crank bolt, red sp clamp, *maybe* red brake shoes, *maybe* red der kit. Then again, if she were mine, I would probably buy all that stuff, and then decide i wanted to repaint my frame to neon purple.

Thanks man. I love my bike, but there are a couple things I would like to change if I had the money.
I have thought about a red crank bolt set. I might. I have also thought about a new bar shape. Not sure what I would go with, but if I did a new bar, I would probably go with an "ultralight" stem to save even more weight.
