Looks great. I would de-sticker the wheels to leave just one set of labels as it detracts from the frame.

Is that the final saddle-bar drop?

^no it´s not a final position at all.

Everythig else is ready but i´m having a hard time finding protective cable housing for integratedrear brake cable guide. I think i´m going to use my Planet-X Guru wheels with this build.

It was looking so good with the dura ace wheels, then you ruined it with some planet flex ones! Is that your final wheelset choice?

Would have looked awesome with a matching red stem! Undecaled wheels would bring it up a notch as well. But a truly beautiful machine already :roll:
