Very nice!
The only small detail I don't like is the greenish part of the fork. I would either remove it or glue a grey stripe on top.

Thanks! Yea, will spray it matt black once I got masking tape.

The seatpost slips so I reversed the collar to see if that improves, but doesn't. 
I'm going to try hair spray trick. Not sure if that would survives rainy day riding tho.

Yes ofcourse it does!
A super light carbon collar isn't going to induce that clamping force you'd need on this frame.
You should use something in alu or Ti.

Oh, talking position of the collar, it's best to have the bolt (locking) at the side the seat mast tube slip is.
So, if it's in the rear, then it should be best in the rear. If in the front, then in the front.

Ok, advice taken and fall back to the 5-time heavier aluminum collar

Doesn’t slip at all

I need something to take a bit more than 6Nm as the stainless steel tubing is obviously stiffer than the lightweight T1sl. I used Carbonice minimalist collar on T1sl with great effect. Darimo Sub4 max torque is 5Nm so... goodbye.

Covered the green strip on fork with paint and swapped to Fulcrum Speed 55 DB with Corsa Control TLR 25/28. I think it looks more proper now.

Awesome!
I would only replace the bartape with an all black one.

Yea, definitely. I want to use Pro Race Comfort tape again for the grip when I wear the current Supacaz. The Bling tape is a bit slippery.
