Spent yesterday evening adding a few upgrades to my bike. Firstly, the white handlebar tape had to go - it looks good for the first ride only.
Next I finally got my new handbuilt wheels with Continental GP4000s tyres onto the frame - the anodised black rims look particularly 'stealth'. Some new Swissstop yellow brake blocks should protect them from too much damage (nb. if you take apart a brake calliper, they are very spring loaded and thus difficult to put back together.
To finish off, I attached a new saddle, which my sit-bones insisted on being gel-padded.
All-in-all, my bike looks a bit more racy now:
Proper test ride will be this Sunday's Burgess Hill Springtime Classic sportif
