not sure why you applied the same aesthetics to a classic path frame and a modern track frame?
That carlton is a beautiful frame, it's screaming out for a classic build with silver fluted post, quill stem, classic crank, low profile wheelset and chain... and my guilty pleasure of some priest bars.
and if you're using black saddle then black tape.
this is just my opinion.
I have already changed the bartape to black cinelli cloth ribbon as I felt the same.
The 5 buils before these were classic until the Tifossi. I hated the ride of the alloy frame but liked the feel of the new parts. That's why I went for the cross over of 60's track frame with new parts. -

I would have preferred to see a slightly more understated build. IMO coloured rims are for mtb's, bmx, and maybe crusers. White stems, are for modern road bikes.
The saddle is interesting, what is it?
Saddle is a selle SMP I have them on my mtb and road bike as well. Very comfy and the cutout centre piece helps with help with bloodflow.
I have white stems on my 4 bikes!!! ( I am now thinking about putting a white stem on my son's bike)
