I like the oversized top tube.
Are you finding the paint to be very delicate? It seems like it doesn’t stick well to the primer.
As for the graphics, unless you are going for a full restoration, I’d suggest doing custom graphics or using the older graphics that look much nicer. The only original graphic I’m keen to reproduce is the Direct Drive Aluminum Fork decal on the fork (I’m planning to mask the tubing decal during sandblasting to preserve the original one along with a bit of silver paint around it).
