Super Nic ehigh tech bike but I would do black bartape and black saddle.
There is white 'enough' on the frame.

I think the white works really well! The saddle in particular looks better IMO. I guess the only downside to that choice is that they will turn yellow.

The saddle didn't turn yellow, and it is a couple of years old already. The bartape does not turn yellow either but certainly it gets easily dirty and it needs replacement after a few monts' use. The good thing is that a black bartape always stays black 8)

Very handsome machine, think I'm preferring the black saddle/ tape combo.

I personally really like the white bar tape and saddle combo... super clean!

Oh... so god damn lovely! Is it actually 6.3 kg with pedals and cages? Thats quite impressive really. The Time stem isn't light, nor is Campag EPS. Obviously the Ventoux are like 950 g which is exceptionally light.

I got a Skylon two days ago and its made me remeber how freakin beautifully made Time bikes are. The finish quality is just on another level compared to other brands. Massive pitty that the idiot who sold the bike jammed a piece of metal in the frame to stop the steapost slipping which destroyed the post and cracked the clamp :( - couldn't see the damage till I pulled the post out.

This weight is with pedals and one Time carbon cage (add 18gr for the second one). The stem is 135gr at 110mm and I might try a 120mm one soon (143gr). I could lose some weight by going to xpresso 15 pedals which are rare to find nowadays. Mine (xpro 10) weight 225gr. Lightweight Ventoux II are practically the same with current Gipfelsturm. Mine weight 1042gr.

I *f##k* want one! There's a XS frame with Activ forks in the Black Label colour way for $4200 AUD which is a good price (basically cost price)... but I really don't like that colour and want the classic fork... and the 2020 colour is red onle which also not the best paint job... sigh.
