Does anyone have a picture of a complete bike with 105 R7000 Silver groupset?

So I'm thinking about getting the R7000 silver groupset for a vintage bike but the color does not look very polished at all from the pictures I find online. I tried to find a picture of a complete bike with the silver grouppo but no luck, wondering if someone here has done it?

Looks like it's still early days, but I found these buried near the bottom of a Google Image search:

That looks like the same finish the 2010ish Ultegra 6700 had. More of a matte beadblasted look.

Any black or carbon group will look better with your classic frame than this mess.

Grab R7000 everything but the crank.

Random comment:

IMO that matte finish will look horrible on anything semi-classic where you are looking for something more polished. Might work on a more modern road bike, but on skinny-tubed steel, no way.

Love those Japanese bike shops with all the parts out on hooks for your browsing enjoyment.
The Vigore shop in Kyoto is nice too. The mechanic was assembling a new bike with a mental intensity usually seen in surgery.

Plus, I bet shoplifting is less of an issue there.

Haha it looks like Tiagra 4650. I forgot this even existed. They totally missed the mark on this and ended up referencing 2009 instead of 1989 (or even 1999).

7700 it ain't.

concur that it just looks like crap in matte silver. the black version looks way better on any frame i think.

I think this would look much nicer. And because its 11 speed, you could use Shimano hub wheelsets.

The Potenza silver finish is also cheap and not polished.

yeah.... nah.... I'm going with the black 105! It looks like someone spray painted them instead of anywhere close to what polished alloy looks like.
