I agree about the bartape & saddle but I don't mind the cages. The yellow valve caps are unneccessary, too. But still, calling it terrible and appalling is an undue exaggeration imho. The saddle is still a flite and the angle is fine, the bars are wrapped accurately and the overall build proves that the builder paid a lot of attention to little details. If you havent you should really check out the details of the frame since it's a columbus MS Bottechia equipe and the level of detail is second to none. That Somec on the other hand, with the brooks saddle and the bar angle fail and those horrible golden shamals is something else...

Yes, love the Mavic and the Modolo.
But the tape, saddle and cages kill it: too busy and distract from the frame.
