Proper fit is next week and I need to source some matte carbon bottle cages to match the naked black carbon on the frame

Chrome bike needs a silver drivetrain. Black rings are cool, but they need some black rims to not look out of place. Plus, BITD, black (or rather, hardox) rims was a sign you were looking at a proper machine.
Never mind that they braked like crap, and the hardox gave you stress risers, and perfectly good rims were available in silver, IMO that old school brake wear that's more obvious at every spoke looks badass. Normal ano would wear all the way through pretty quick, but with hardox, the rims would show that pulsed wear for most of their life.
Then you'd pull a spoke through the rim thanks to the hardox.

I like the picture of that Holdsworth. It doesn't present the details of the bike itself very well, but the colours and the lighting just work well for my eye.

Yeah, IMO that'd be way hot if it was a slammed 56
