classy. I quite like it. Needs more chrome/polished metal for the full retro package in my opinion, but extremely cool bike regardless.

Thank you! I was going for more polished parts. But ultegra is just too good! So smooth and not that pricey; and dark grey being the only color, in the end it really didn't matter.

Looks great! Definitely a unique theme for a modern carbon road bike. It's a fresh change.

That's one of the nicest touches. Always loved a brown saddle and wrap on a titanium-coloured frame.
