Looking forward to that disc build. I'm also going to have Fairwheel build up my next set of Enve 4.5s tubulars/Tune/CX-Sprints. They built my first set of Enve 65s/Tune hubs years ago and that was the best wheelset I've ever ridden.

Ooooh - I didn't see the gold S on the head tube. That excuses the tire decals a bit, but still not a big fan - I'd prefer white or ghosted.

The flecks in the paint are pretty hawt. Hard to go wrong with that kind of bar tape, too. Very nice. Still, I find it odd that they went with white decals on the sides of the frame but gold on the HT.

You've got a point. The White S-Works has a gold outline, that again is hard to catch on photos, and in the white there is all the name of the world champions up till 2016.

The second one -
The Alan, well, that's pretty jazzy. Not a regular road bike, is it? Not sure why you used your Bianchi cable housings on it. I like the wheels.

The first Bianchi is classic - I would hate to install that bar wrap! The new one is ok... but why the chrome stem on a bike that is mostly with black accents? Yes, the bar tape wrap needs to be re-done. The old school Brooks saddle looks wrong on that bike and the upward nose tilt looks painful. The pedals should be black to make this bike hot. Remove the rest of the Reynolds decals. I am not a huge fan of the gumwall trend, particularly on this bike. It is a 4th color and is not necessary. Hey, are those valve stems long enough?

Saddle angle may not be correct for aesthetics, but functionally it's the way it should be; the closer you sit towards the nose, the less distance you have to the cranks.. higher saddle nose would compensate for that.
Pedals should match the Bianchi celeste green IMO.
I'm pretty sure those are tubular wheels/tires.. gumwall does clash with the wheels/bike..
I think those are Cinelli Spinaci, once popular in early/mid 90's, until crashes started to occur when pros used them in mass-start events.
Later on, Cinelli made them into short/lightweight versions for those who just can't commit to full-on aero bars:
