Congrats! This is the most impressive build I've seen in a while. Thanks for sharing the pictures.
My MIT Atlantis had all-black components, but the whole package was not nearly as cool as what you have put together! I even changed the headset to a black one. That OCD move cost me couple of weeks as the headset my LBS ordered wasn't compatible with Riv frames. Enjoy!
