May not suitable for everyone. Open with caution!!!
It’s a bit much with all those pink bits exposed! Steady on!
Pink is overrated and done too many times. Usually it is too much in your face. This looks just like an “artistic porn” not too much pink and still has all the feminine look.
I’m not a pink chick. I even refuse to wear pink running shoes.
Agreed, this is a really nice use of the accents and a “good” hue of pink too, not neon and not pastel. Nice build.

It maybe a too much bike for you anyway 
props to the builder for being in the big ring/small cog combination…the blue decal on the seat post causes a deduction in points and for full effect I think silver Nokons that were custom anodized pink would have been a better coice. Also…what…no pink saddle?

This is actually built for a specific customer, saddle choice (and saddle hight) reflects personal settings.
Here are some other photo sets with different bikes. These are not “cookie cutter” builts like RA Cycles or Jason does these are done for specific customers without any sponsor obligations.

I’m not nearly as badazz as TrackieCLM but if I were…that Bridgestone with dual Mavics would be my weapon of choice.
Careful, you’re going to get R10C all worked up over these photos.
Great ad campaign. I love the use of women. It appeals to the male audience while emphasizing the understanding that most women need a women’s bike and many times that means custom. Brilliant. And the pink flame one, my dream paint scheme.
I must say, this is one of the most uninspiring, poorly thought out $15,000 bikes I have seen.
The builder appears to have tried to put together a bunch of expensive components without any real thought to how they mix together. The pink on the CK headset doesn’t match with the other pink which looks odd, as the previous poster noted, the blue on the seatpost does not work with the build, the aluminum stem looks brutal when matched with the carbon spacers and the carbon bar (yes, it is a light stem, but it looks brutal on that bike), and finally and worst of all, the builder has give zero consideration to trying to match carbon weaves. There are about 6 different types of weave on that bike and none of them flow together. For a bike of this prestige and cost, I would expect more. A lot more.
I have seen some of KGS’s other builds up close and have been very impressed. This build is some of their worst work.
I am thoroughly disappointed.

I wholeheartedly agree. But you are missing the point of this build. This status symbol will appeal to the buyer that is concerned with what others think of him (yes HIM). In this case the desired effect is obviously “I have money” as opposed to “I have good taste.”
