Viner Magnifica

Got my toy ready to go for next year. Not the best photo!
Stem has been replaced with a deda zero2 in white. Saddle will be replaces with another as the one on there is evil and I feel violated every time I ride it.
Possibly will change the pedals from those cheap time RXS to iclic, but we'll see what the boss says.

Just put a new set of cosmic sls on there, but the wife looked at it and said "No, that doesn't work! Too shouty and too many logos".....divorce proceedings have commenced.
But is she right? Should I de-decal the cosmics? Feels like vandalism removing the decals on a brand new £800 set of wheels? Would white bar tape be better?
I won't sleep tonight now!
Anyway, all centaur groupset, antares versus saddle, deda 02 stem, deda zero seat pin, time iclic carbon titan pedals (still to put them on).....
Will be replacing the mavic tyres with michelin pro race 4 service course.
I think they look good!
White tape would look good but, and this is rare with a white saddle, the black looks fine.

ok i will do the picture tomorrow. thanks you for your comments
Your wife has taste. Is she really saying 'too shouty AND too many logos' if so, she's got it right. Because 1, that frame doesn't look right with deep section wheels, and 2, them having loads of logos draws even more attention to the fact they are there.
It looks really nice with the original wheels though

Personally i think white bar tape would be too much with the white stem and saddle and white frame, black looks fine

Some interesting comments. I think there's something not right with it.....I can't put my finger on it. The comment about it not suiting deeps is interesting, hopefully that's not the answer though!
Also loving the fact that I should do the opposite to what the wife says. She's an artist.....I'm colour blind so never been interested in aesthetics, but something isn't right on here.
A black saddle?

Your new side shot actually makes it look a lot better with the deeps. (I wondered for a moment if Bora Ultra Twos would also look good, I expect they would, they have red on them aaaand you are running Campag EDIT: Bora Ultra 35's maybe better again?). Mavic wheels often have a look/branding which sort of clashes with the branding of a lot of frames, their wheels mostly look ok in isolation but quite censored /tacky once put on the bike.
I have had a suggestion of: red saddle, red tape, black stem, red strip ultremo tyres???
The steerer has been cut down since this photo.......
I prefer it how you've got it, it looks 'different' but still 'right' with the white stem and black tape (and with the bonus of a bit less cleaning). Don't put coloured tyres on it, it will look naff, it's a nice looking frame and it will distracting. If you didn't have Mavic's clashy branding on there then possibly amber walls like Vittoria Open Corsa SC would look good (and they are brilliant tyres). Also, don't put red bar tape on, it will look naff.
Putting red tyres and bar tape on it would make it look the opposite of classy.

When/if you get bored though, my lad went for a black/red Fizik saddle and red Bontrager bar tape on his white bike and it looks fab with black stem & seat post.
P.S. Please don't remove the decals!
