Looks cool! What will you build it with?
Tape is for wrapping gifts to your girlfriend, not to hold a freaking tire on!

Looks nice. Were you able to compare weight pre-strip, post-strip and final paint?

yes, made a -70gramms ... but that is normal because cervelo (like almost of the bike manuf.) use
always toooo much paint and they use cheap+heavy stickers for their logos.

Thanks for the info. Last question: any reason why you didn't convert the frame to internal cabling? I know it's a matter of choice, but I think it would have made the final product look cleaner (although more difficult to route cables - unless going Di2).

don´t like frames with internal cabling...i was really happy that i found a cheap new R3 Frame from 2012/2013.
I have aswell frames with internal cables but they made a lot of trouble in the past... ( and noise...)

Makes sense. Enjoy the build and the ride! Love the paint scheme!

Nice change up.
What weight did it come to with the new paint? And did you do it? Would Cervelo still cover it for warranty (should that ever be required).
