The Pink Ridley Noah would be hot without the pink/red combination. I think either pink/black or red/black would have been better.
I'm not against the pink, just think it clashes with the red.
Also, the thinner top black ring on the seat tube below the top tube really bothers me for some reason. I feel like it should be the same size as the lower black ring.

Here it is, back from the painter. A Giro/Baum inspired paint job, painted by Jack Kane of kanebikes.com.
A couple minor things to finish up... wire wrap the excess wires up front, chainstay protector. It was so easy to install and dial in the EPS system; it took more time dialing in the ZG brakes. I'll be taking it out for its first EPS ride tomorrow, and will take a much better pic out on the road.

I was really hoping to get the pic swapped before anyone noticed. :-(

I think that the saddle looks a little chunky on an otherwise very nice bike. I suspect that a pic from a slightly lower vantage point would help overall and with the saddle specifically.

Actually I agree on the saddle being a bit chunky looking. I have Fizik Ariones on my other road bikes by an Arione Tri2 on my tandem. I liked the way the Tri2 felt so I thought I'd give it a try on this build. (plus I cant find the black / yellow Arione for under $180!)

Not really. Nice bike because...well...it says "Colnago" on it...but attractive it is not, and hot it will likely never be in that color scheme.
More specific...yellow hoods and tape are just too much to my eyes. While black is of course much more appropriate to the "yellow jacket" theme, this is one case where even white would be an improvement.
