Blank canvas for airbrush time.

Add some chrome applique material and perhaps a play on something like the old Schwinn Black Phantom. Use the Specialized name but follow with the Schwinn script font and colors.

Keep it all modern components but backdate the finish of them.... meaning high polished. Drop bar and stem would be highly polished aluminum. Brown tone saddle. High polished rims, white tires.

Stage 2 would be fabricating the Black Phantom tank. Acquire a section of a crashed carbon tube frame, use very thin aluminum skin for the tank, highly polished- of course. Don't graft it or modify the bike frame itself but rather use hook and loop / Velcro industrial hidden under the top and head tube. It wouldn't weigh anything but make it sized to hold a rain shell jacket, keys, tire kit, etc..
