A carefully applied black Sharpie would make it even nicer. At least on the stem & fork.

Nice! I like the Enve wheels.
I've got a similar look with the SLC-SL and Zipp 303's. Your non-aero frame and tubulars makes a huge weight difference - mine weighs two lbs more.

Remember 2ndGen (RIP)? I think his GF painted his 2.0. It looked great. But once I got ready to build the bike, it sounded like a pain in the ass for minor aesthetic value.

Personally, Enve has one of the most artistic stylized name/logos out there, so at my first look, I thought it was overbadged, but subsequent looks just give it more of a patterned look. Also, IMO, someone unfamiliar with Enve might simply think it is a stylized badge, and not a name at all.

Dealers stopped being able to sell online. Competitive Cyclist and Excel, who I think were two of the larger Cervelo dealers, took it in the shorts. I remember CC issued some statement about it. It got harder to find a mail order frame.
Once the policy changed, my understanding was Cervelo dealers were no longer supposed to take orders and ship bikes. Purchases had to be made at the local dealer. Dealers (like CC and Excel) were still able to unload the pre-ban bikes. My wife bought a 2009 S2 from CC.

Frameset came with a 3T Doric LTD. It was lighter than expected.
But it had to go because stem, post, and bars were coming from the Paketa. And because no one in their right mind has an Enve fork/stem/bars and a 3T post.

Sweet build. Can't get any better. The CSC paint is one of my favorites.

We talked about this in the Diet thread a few years back after I swapped the spindles, bowties, and screws on a pair of SS Speedplay Zeros.
Original SS Zero.
Ti spindles, bowties, and screws.

Where did you find Ti bowties and the spindles without wrench flats? Are they OEM? The aftermarket ones seem to have wrench flats.
I once bought aluminum bowties. They lasted 1 ride before I couldn't clip in or out of them anymore. Ti ones would probably work much nicer.

(No, it's not mine. I'm not pimping my own listing. If the seller is firm on a local cash deal, I can possibly help facilitate.)

Speedplay is unnecessarily dramatic about the aftermarket ti parts. I believe the place I got them from was getting the parts from Germany. Then they got the cease and desist letter from Speedplay. I'll send you a PM.

No issues. I've been riding a Paketa for close to ten years. I've had three. The original Russian import (which was a sweet bike), the ugly compact purple year, and then the bike JP and I put together in 2010. That's the bike I bought instead of a Cervelo.
I love my Paketa. The original plan was to retrofit it for EPS and take it to NAHBS. JP then decided he wanted to build a new bike that was EPS compatible. I didn't want another bike. Mine was as nice as it gets for magnesium.
Your Wilier is relatively new, isn't it? Are you thinking about a tandem?
