I did! 2012 Project Black Venge
Just completed my Project Black Venge, Still waiting on my Sram Red Black brakes and longer stem to 100mm, 90 is a tad short. Thinking about getting an white S-Works Toupe and white bar tape. I just hate the look of dirty white bar tape.

Very slick looking. I'm surprised the weight isn't lower with red on an sworks frame.
My sworks roubaix with duraace and deep clinchers with powertap came out to 14.9lbs.
Still...great looking bike. Keep the black tape and seat.

Looks great. Nice job. How does it ride?
I think the 3T "Pro" stem would color match better (white stripe instead of red) and as a bonus, it's cheaper. Also, I'm guessing you'll like the D-A FD better.

Yeah my SL3 weighed in at 14.9 with the same wheels. Wheels are a tad heavy at 1600 grams.

Old Red or new Red?
If you get a white saddle and handlebar tape you are dead to me.

Sexy bike! It will still be sexy as hell with white saddle and white tape!
One complaint is that Specialized puts way too many warning and miscellaneous stickers on their bikes! The ones near the top of the ST and near the bottom of the DT in your pics bug me, but that's just me... Still an awesome looking bike!

Nice! I'm a Cervelo fan but that is one good looking bike. In fact, maybe the best I've seen. Keep it all black though.

Let's face it, it's no Cervelo.
