wow this is just awesome, congrats!
while most 10+ y.o. bikes look 'old', Madones and 5200/5500/5900 series seem getting even sexier with time. maybe it's not just about the bike with the memories they bring, but nonetheless - these are some serious pieces of road racing weaponery
your setup seems spot on with deda and DA seatpost, but going with some fancy-schmancy wheels.. ...this frame begs for Cosmic Carbones

Yeah, Lightweights would be icing on the cake
Will make some UD carbon like decals to cover that carbon pattern.
Bought it here (tu sem ga kupil)

BTW, decide to polish Deda Newton stem and bars, similar to the Dura Ace seatpost finish

Good decision it would look superb. Is it possible to paint clear lacquer on top of the polished items, for protection? I know polished alloy is very delicate.
Btw if you dont need your newtom stem anymore, i would be happy to take it of your hands It looks to be 120mm?
Yes, it is possible. Irongatsby told me that its actually not necesarry until you take care of it and polish it a bit from time to time.
You have a PM for the stem

Yes, polished aluminum is relatively easy to maintain. You can apply automotive wax every once in a while to help protect it. IMO, the best part about a polished aluminum (or even stainless steel which is slightly darker) part is that you can always buff it out if you damage it!
