Drooltastic. ST03 is my favourite Colnago colour scheme. It will look great with white saddle/tape or black/black. Would look good with the WR Compositi seatpost as well with the matching red/white theme.

It will be a beauty with whatever wheels, but even more so with LW's.

I've been waiting for a WW to do a build with this frame.

SWEET! Can't wait to see it.
I am currently changing out my Record shifters and dérailleurs to SRAM and just found a shop that has Campy part no WH-KX10 to put Shimano cassettes on my Campy wheels so the shifting is better. I'm partial to Campy wheels and cranks.

What cassette are you using with SRAM on your hyperions?
What brake calipers?

+1 on that.
I'm running 06 non UT record carbon on that. Mainly due to the Ergomo.
Luckly my Hyperon clinchers are shimano hub body and so I'm running a DA cassette.
As for brakes. Zero Gs with corima pads.
Would rather use a record ft der. as well but doesn't shift as well with SRAM, but I see a few WW bikes with them. Any advice on adjusting them to shift better with SRAM?
I believe RED ft der. is lighter then record, so that should eleviate the issue in the near future.

I'm using a Record FD for compacts. It may be a bit wider than the regular Record FD (not sure). Others are reportedly using a standard Record FD with SRAM just fine. Again- Red will alleviate those issues.

Sounds like a sweet built Thi!

I have seen your Look, your Cerveló and your other builds.
So far this one seems like, going to be the most beautifull build you did ever!

If I were a admin on this board, pedro sanchez would be out of here. To quote a few lines: "dutch people suck", "french people suck" etc.. just looking down on others to feel better.
