Awesome job, love it! In my opinion i would just change the stem for a -7 (or so) and take the spacer out (slammed). About the bartape, i would just follow the rule, bar tape always match the saddle!

Did you weigh the new paint job? Always curious to see the different weights the paint adds. I can't recall seeing the naked black tarmac frame weight in 54 but I know the white\red version is one of the heavier ones. Marginally but interestingly. Ron did an amazing job - enjoy the new dress!

Work of art.
Bold and interesting design, "two" bikes in one, depends on the side you look at it. :thumbup:

The frame in front of the paint chart doesn't match up with the one you got sent? Did they spray it again before sending it?

Looks great! Love the colors and the final build looks amazing! Can you feel a decal bump in those areas or it's all smooth from the clear coat?

Stunning end result :shock: But, is it me, or is that bike scratched all over, or are those finger prints we see on the close up pics? Any idea if that awsome looking paintjob did add some weight to the frame?

Thanks. Some places you can feel the decal bump underneath.

It's probably a combination of finger prints, low light and an unsteady camera on the closeups. The paintjob most definately added weight to the frame. How much I'm a bit uncertain of, but the Italians didn't go easy with the clear coat :D

Thank you. Was also one of the reasons why I did it like this. I normally get tired when I see yet another S-Works with the same components, so I wanted to mix it up a bit.
