It looks good to me, but I love white on a black bike.
Other than the thrashed tape & Hudz, what do you think of my primary bike?
I had a silver Thomson stem, but threw the black Ritchey on because the Thomson was cracked at the steerer tube, and I'm waiting for the replacement. Tomorrow I'm picking up some black hoods and new white tape.

Also, if thats the bike you use putting in the miles on strava, no wonder the bart tape looks like that, ha!

Yeah, I get my miles mostly on this one.
Honestly, I have tape. I'm just too lazy to re-wrap them unless I replace the hoods too, and I may as well replace the shift cables at that point.....

Here's the 2011 Tarmac SL3 Project Black in Dura Ace that preceded the Parlee (I generally am not a n+1 kinda guy)...

Dale looks good.
IMO...bike would look better without the Reynolds stickers.

I agree with black rings! Ideally a quaq! Want one so bad...
I thought I had the saddle level!

I'll photoshop your bike this afternoon when I get home from work and that way you can see what it would look like with debadged wheels
And I'd just go with black praxis chainrings for now.
and a level saddle

Oh, and I have a new saddle coming - Tioga Spyder Twin Tail. https://harriscyclery.net/images/libr...odl/SA1618.jpg I'll level it!
