Love it. Fine work.

My only comment / suggestion - go for a 3D printed junction box hold / spacer. Don't spoil that beautiful stem with a horrid elastic band!

very nice. the bike is beautiful. doesn't look pink at all in the traditional sense. very subtle, more gray and purple in there than pink.

@mike - totally, my ma-in-law calls it frosted pink

@greentimgreen - already done...some stealthy double sided tape has removed the band!

Very nice but that stem looks too thick for the tubing of that bike. Which is odd. As it is a parlee stem.

What's the effective top tube on that bike... looks really short for the size of the frame. Actually, do you have the complete geometry chart available to post? Would be interesting to see.

That is a beautiful setup.

I agree though, the headtube looks too tall or the top tube too short. I am sure that it was made to fit the rider but aesthetically, looks a bit off. Still, I wouldnt say no if it showed up on my doorstep...
