Black Colnago C60 - Help with build ideas

Got a smokin deal on a C60. According to Clean39T, frame may be a bit big so building from parts on hand for the first version of the bike. I will have to buy a few items, help me choose. I did a fair amount of checking an feel comfortable it's authentic.

What I have
- Frame kit with fork, seat post (see picture)
- Campy Record 11sp mech groupset with crank
- Jagwire Elite "link" cables in silver for brakes/shifting
- Fulcrum racing zero with 25mm or 28mm depending on what fits
- Seat

Open
- Stem (not sure, maybe 100)
- Bars (42cm) with garmin extension
- Bar Tape color? Red? Black?
- pedals (power?) I have some Shimano and speedPlay around

Mostly looking for stylistic compatibility. Enve stem? Which bars?

I would highly recommend:

Fizik cyrano r1 stem
Fizik cyrano 00 seat post
Fizik 00 handlebar
Fizik 00 saddle

Campy superrecord

WTO 35mm blackout

Fizik logo-less

There is something about how the fizik components look of the c60. Its is incredible IMO

How I had mine built up. If I would do it all over again. Deda for all touch points.

You need to build that bike by going painfully out of your way to keep the appearance murdered out. Nothing with logos or anything that will compete with the details on the frame. Once you get this dialed, then fcuk it up a little at the end with one thing that's way off like Spongebob bidons. Keep the rims and tires all black. No logos. Go to great lengths to commit to black—the only colors acceptable are tones of black—and definitely a Fizik cockpit.

In that case, I would say a 100mm stem is going to look oddly short on this size frame, and maybe cause handling to be not as good as it should be?
