Lovely bike and great pictures!!

Black (or golden) cassete would be even better (I'm not a fan of oil slick).

Put some pedals on and it's a contender indeed.

Serious contender

Clean , makes you want to ride?

Clean forks for the win. Black cassette & chain too, or gold maybe. But who cares? Tasty bike

yeah, super nice. I don't personally like the silver fork and then chrome bits as I don't think they work that well together - close but not close enough? Uncanny valley? haha. I also am happy to see some paint on Ti, but I would have at least exposed the rear stays or some parts that take a lot of wear so the frame looks new for longer. Really nice bike nonetheless.

Tasty parts and high level of craftsmanship indeed. But that curved top tube....naaah.. I'd rather take straight or low slung top tubes like Chromags than those of Sklar, Naked or Retrotec any day. Because form AND function.

I agree. The only thing that would change it for me was if the chainstays continued the ark, then it would look great

Agreed on the silver, hard, if not impossible to match

For a second there I thought they'd gone down the same route as Sick with multiple BB shells.
