So we're past the chainring thing, yeah?
I like it a lot. Would reduce the total number of ENVE logos to 1 though, placed on NDS of fork.

Nah, look like a kiddies biek with an adult fork IMO.

What is point in mudguard of meager proportion?

To stop your headset getting dirty.

Didnt someone earlier say that it was to stop the spray coming up at your face?

Either way it looks absurd

Your chin would likely have to be on your stem for that to be the case.

Mucky Nutz and similar are pretty common. I guess they work.

Paints frame to match Shimano 6400

Fits Campag groupset

No.

Always has half the teeth engaged.

There is a very small difference in chain length because of the different angles, but it's no more than you get from the lack of roundness with many 'circular' chainrings, particularly in that case where the chainstays are long and the size difference between chainring and sprocket is small.

I love you

Considering who it was built for, I'd say that might not be entirely accurate.
Builder photos, not rider.

There's plenty to hate in the detailing of the frame, and the build has been done pretty shoddily too:

Is there any reason (besides aesthetics and I know in what thread I am) for the elbows to be inside in a radial pattern?

Inside is actually stronger. People put em on the outside for aesthetics.

The difference is probably realistically negligible, but putting the elbows out does increase the bracing angle minutely.

I think it's an extremely beautiful bike. Bishop's detailing is stunning.

I'd prefer Campag skewers. No doubt he'll take some shots himself once it's ridable.

i get the spokes. dont get what im looking at in the second pic . educate me.

Ah skewers. Too much stud showing?

Preferance really.

Radial is a big no no for their hubs according to Cliff at Royce

Mainly the extra amount of skewer, but also the rusty cassette.

Or preference.

And lightweight skewers are a bit shit next to the original.

That Bishop.. not doing it for me. The bar setup on it's own is enough to turn me off. Who would find that lever position comfortable?

Me and most other people with round bend drops?

Yeah looks standard to me.

It's not a matter of preference or aesthetics, it's a matter of those projecting skewer ends snagging people's tights as they walk past. Obviously proper skewers would be functionally better, but if you're going to use a comedy lightweight skewer set designed for MTB weight weenies, at least chop them down to suit the thinner dropouts and shorter rear axle of your steel road bike.
