First, my Cielo Racer SE, it's KVA Stainless, but still steel! Currently wearing some King R45 wheels with Vittoria EVO SC instead of the Mavic R-SYS SLR's and the headset has been switched to a King Ti unit.
Here's my old commuter, IF Club Racer SSR. Again, stainless.
And then there's this Independent Steel Club Racer that belongs to a friend.

if you're wondering why all the proportions seem off with the chainrings and space between seat tube and wheel...
Its because its a 1992 bike based on 26" wheels! Road Geometry on 26" wheels
This is a build for my wife who's 5'4" and wanted a traditional looking road bike. But this is actually an "all around-er" bike. There is enough clearance for MTB tires, and its currently on 28c slicks.
My Tommasini Tecno build so far...

Your Cielo is stunning! How big are those Challenge tires? 27? 30? I know they make some pretty big clinchers, and clearance looks very generous on your bike. Super cool!

a. I don't think the saddle color is successful. I would prefer white or black. Something more classy also like a regal or rolls or...
b. Deda makes polished alu handlebars. Why choose carbon?
c. I am not a fan of the medium profile wheels for this bike. They will make the ride harsher for no reason. A pair of Ambrosio F20 or some NOS tubular rims would be better IMHO.

Exactly!
Black or white sadlle.
Deda makes the bar for that stem, same polish.
I like the wheels
