Freakin sweet, but the Thomson post doesn't belong; the aesthetic is too modern. Probably get away with the Fizik seat on its own, but otherwise it looks like it needs more modern stuff to go with the post.

If I find one I'll be going with a white Fizik Kurve Chameleon for how comfortable they are to me.

Normally not opposed to Carbon wheels on classic steel but in this case I'm not seeing it.
I have done that on a couple of others.

The bike is a 1970 Raleigh Professional and the fork is original. No idea if the chrome is factory-applied. I think lots of manufacturers used similar lugs, though most Raleighs from that period sported Nervex lugs.

Made a few changes...different saddle since I happened to have this one and initially the other saddle was fine but only until the 30 mile mark and this one has been much better, Ambrosio polished tubular rims and Veloflex Arenberg tires plus the correct brake hoods.

A four arm crankset and downtube shifters? Okay...
The Lizard Skin bar tape has the gloss to work in a retro context, I reckon

Lol you must have terrible taste. These hubs are gorgeous, everyone that sees them in person comments on how beautiful they are.

Not high flange really but I also looked into Royce Venus hubs, maybe for some other build...

Take a better photo.
Pretty hot, but the red hubs stick out a bit

Edit: The brake calipers are kind of homely for a vintage looking build also.
