2 chainrings and front der?

Yeah 2 carbon chain-ring's [53-40] and my own custom made carbon front mech.
like I said before when I posted my trek. I want my bikes to look like a racing bike and not a hipster bike.

Most racing bikes have handlebar tape

and the riders know where the QR Handle should finish in the closed position

Here we go ,,,,hater city Mr pedantic and his jealous buddy's have arrived.

I usually have Tune skewers. I will have another pair on the bike soon. 19grms the pair. In the meantime I have these things on and I could not care as long as my wheels don't fall off

Bar tape . This is a WW bike I have the amount of bar tape that my bike needs to function and I am comfortable with.
I don't need to wrap loads and loads of tape round. I want to show as much of the custom bar/combo as possible.
It works for me and is very comfortable. If I could get away with no tape I would. I always have rode with minimum tape. Its a personal choice I of the prefer the feel of the bars rather than the feel of 2 layers of tape.

Also is that your front shifter on the head tube?

I'm alive in London.
It is the front mech shifter on the head tube. I really only ride on my big ring so I put the DT shifter there to save weight. No cable weight and I also take all the gear parts out of the red shifter. Its a old plastic shimano shifter. 10 grms
I have a down tube on my Trek as well on that I have the carbon Modolo shifter 5grms.
I did have a btp carbon shifter that weighed 4grms but I lost it.

you can see my heavier other bike here its a trek 5900 superlight "well was"
