I agree with you in part.
I would prefer to have had black saddle and tape, however I am due to cycle to Brussels on this on Weds and I had a new white regal and new white fizik tape in the spares box. So time was definateley a factor in that decision.
The forks are the original Dave Russell ones with the DR on the crown and I was keen to keep them that way.
I defo wanted a quil stem and just don't dig black quills, black seatpost and silver quill would look a bit rum IMO.
Maybe I'm not too well up on bike dimensions and propertions etc but longer stems don't look too pleasing to me, and this fits me perfect.
I'm pretty happy with it, even though the Brussels factor meant that the last week of accruing parts and building was a bit of a rush.
I might reassess when I am back.
