For the record, I think these 105 cranks are ugly, but it's all I have right now. They're just so..........dark. No detail whatsoever.

Did you ask the painter to put the SWORKS that far down the downtube? It looks really wrong to my eyes.
Otherwise,, nice job!

Saddle is hopefully more comfy than it is good-looking, because it's as hard as nails to look at.

I agree that it's a pretty generic looking ride. I'm glad the only trendy thing they did with it was the "aero" profiled tubes. TBH, I get blown around more by sidewinds with this rig than I ever did...

Painted by me, so I put in 3 photos to give you a better...
