I'd say "hot" based on matte black, tanwalls, spidering, and enves.
But I have to take it back a notch to "warm" because of the half-measure stem you put on.
It's totally distracting to see the horizontal line running through your bars, hoods & top-tube get interrupted by that flaccid-looking thing. Bleh.
You should have gone full-monty with a -17deg rise.

It's a nice bike. I'm sure it will make someone very happy. I'm just not attracted to it "that way."
In a way, that bike is like someone's mom, and I don't think it's right to call someone's mom 'hot,' no matter how good looking or pretty she is. People would get the wrong idea because 'hot' expresses the wrong idea.

Just a shame some of ya'll prefer Frozen dinners to 5 star restaurants.

#yes on all counts
#boourns to the naysayers on the stem. this current set up that maintains horizontality is better than pointing it to the ground... or propping it on spacers... or whatever wild ideas they concocted

That saddle looks a fair bit higher than on the other pictures of the same bike (for example here). You didn't pull a 2ndGen on us, did you?

I'm changing my answer to Hot.
To make it hotter...(other than the stem thing)
Get rid of some cables (you mentioned eTap).
Get rid of cable adjusters/move them.
Reduce amount of cable in places like the RD (eTap/Di2 fixes that).
Maybe 90% will disagree with me, but I like metal anodized alloy housing and color's cables like PowerCordz for accent (and they work well). In the close-up it looks like you did that. In the staged, it looks like the shifters are plastic covered housing.
I know it costs more, sorry - Enve Stem/bars to match wheels.

Cheese and rice, some people don't know how to take a compliment! I say you have a great big natural pearl and you complain because I won't say it sparkles like a rhinestone. Smh...

I guess I should have done a better job clarifying that.
