Glad you like it :) I’d say we have a similar taste and the appreciation is mutual: your look and parlee projects have a similar vibe for sure. The idea for the bike was something along the lines of beautifully-engineered traditional road bike that I could enjoy on a vacation in the alps. Unfortunately I haven’t taken it to the alps yet but fingers crossed it’ll happen this summer. Obviously, the bike was built primarily because I wanted a project, not out of a particular need ;) I like Time as a company and their RTM manufacturing process, I have a thing for campagnolo, always wanted some ck hubs and the reason for the rotor cranks is that they are compact cranks. They’re 110bcd and have a 24mm axle - the frame is bsa threaded. I had some chorus cranks on there but they were 53/39, not really my ratio. Also, the gun drilling on the rotor cranks is another interesting nerdy engineering feature. The shimano chain and casette allow for cheaper running gear + it makes the wheels more versatile for future use with the shimano hub. Saddle is indeed an SLR carbonio re-upholstered with alcantara.
P.s. You’d probably prefer the previous set-up with the Chorus Cranks and a sleek stem.

is it a recovered carbon SLR saddle? also whats the frame threading for BB? (can't be BB30 can it? would you choose Rotor over a 5 bolt carbon Campagnolo crank?)
so good though... it's a campag crank, slammed and chopped steerer/stem, shallow carbon rims and carbonworks cages/ali express versions away from absolute perfection for me... and maybe also something retro modern like a carbon regal evo saddle... lovely...
