I don't usually name my bikes but my daughter has been calling this bike Jack since it came in. I told her it was the Australian Flag, not the UK, but she didn't understand that. In fairness, the only difference between the two paint schemes is the Southern Cross below the seatmast on the 695.

Record 11, Caimillo GSL Micro brakes, Cinelli Neo Morphe bars, X-2 pedals, SLR saddle.

The frame is stunning. What is the total weight? That has to be one of the strangest shaped bars I've ever seen...

It really needs understated bars, bartape, debadged rims and black tires.

Color on the frameset is more than enough!

I'd go all black except the frame too. Which is absolutely stunning btw. :)
Get a bicycle. You will certainly not regret it, if you live.

Groovy!
I agree on black everything, debadged wheels etc. (and cut these handlebar ends please)

That's BAD ASS.
I totally agree. Solid white or solid black and ditch the decals on the wheels.
I love it

It is nice to see such a high quality bike with so much character. I guess you are not a supporter of Australia becoming a Republic. If you rode that around West Belfast you would get a brick thrown at you.

There's too much going on on this bike. The frameset is beautiful but with everything in color it looks like a total mess. Go black everything and post it again.
