Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Far far far too many wheel decals for my tastes. If you just had one "Novatech" on each wheel, maybe just on the drive side even, then it'd be far better.
I think the purpose of all these decals is to hypnotize your opponents.

The Novatec's were demo wheels I borrowed for the weekend. I do agree that the graphics are over the top.

Here are my normal wheels.

Regarding the saddle position...thats how I was fit..

I put this pic up a few pages back.

Much better. I would go with black hoods, and remove that 3t sticker from the seat post. Just a bit too busy, but still hot. I recently acquired a set of ec90tt wheels for my other bike. Good to know they will look good if they make their way onto the s2. Final score I give you a solid 105deg.

Edit: just noticed the SRAM sticker on the seat stay. Also the white housing on the rd. both need to go as well.

The 3T decal is to mark the height...its starting to peel...so its gonna go.

White hoods are starting to split where it meets the bar...so will probably replace with black ones.

SRAM decal is to cover a nice scratch.

OMG!!! I used to have a Bridgestone RB-II!!! It was my first real road bike. Loved that thing!! Had to sell it to upgrade. Broke my heart, but the buyer was as enthused to own it as I was, which made me feel better.
