Obvious (tongue in cheek) answer is getting the Pro (I or this Ergotec/Humpert ) and then have polish that and stem and have them anodized to match

I am now also toying with the idea of getting the PRO BLT and sanding, polishing and re-anodising it. It works out a lot cheaper than painting the carbon one and should give a better finish that won't get shagged up as soon as it goes into the frame.
In other news, I decided to make the Dawes more fun by putting bigger tyres on it. I scored some cheap Gravelkings on here and headed out to find some bridleways yesterday.
Although I had a LOT of fun, it must be said the experiment was not a stunning success: I forgot that the rear mudguard was only held on at the bridge with a plastic cable-tie, which died at the first bump.
So I took it off and stashed it in a hedge.
After that, things were looking up for a while until I blew-out the sidewall of my new front tyre. The path I ended up on was way too much for 32mm GK. So I nursed it home, took off the front mudguard and ordered a pair of 38mm tyres, which I reckon is about as big as the clearances will allow. I'll see how it goes with them on, and maybe go a little easier with my route choices!
