Beautiful! I think the seatclamp looks a bit bulky and out of place. That and the spacers, i guess. The workmanship is clear to see, however. Awesome build
Awesome bike, holy hell!
Just a word about those DT RWS (rachet-wheel system) skewers...
They are ok until the plastic ratchet mech starts to go,
then toss them.
If you don't, one day it'll strip entirely and you'll be standing at the side of the road unable to get your wheel off...

looks great!! minus the spacers... From the looks of it is you chain one link to long?
Yes, nicely presented. Great photos. Re the skewers, I have a few sets of those skewers and while they look good and I've never stripped one, they kind of defeat the purpose of the whole "quick release" mechanism on most other skewers. Wouldn't get them again for that reason alone. Might as well go back to the old "wingnut" style if you have to turn them rather than just flip them open and drop the wheel out.

Gorgeous bike, I seriously want a Ti rig now I think a deep carbon fibre conical spacer would suit the build better at the current stem height and the Enve stem just doesn't look quite right, I'm thinking a Thomson X2 would look right at home
Ti or dye!

Updated the build.
Swapped the old drivetrain with a Shimano Ultegra Di2. There was a weight penalty (for sure), but am really happy with the electronic shifting.
I opted to go with a 2012 SRAM crankset (instead of Shimano), but took off the SRAM decals on the crank arms.
Put back the the original custom painted carbon saddle, and for the brakes, kept the Gravitas at the rear, but put Simkins Egg Brakes in front.
Also ordered custom ENVE rim decals to color-match the frame. I know some might find this too much (with some opting for the white decals, and some preferring black stealth decals), but I figured, it was a good way to showcase both IF and ENVE (I'm a dealer of both brands).
