Significant aero disadvantage not having your front skewer horizontal to the ground.

You should consider washing your water bottle between uses.

Drop the seat, drop a spacer. That is a very euro fit, quite a bit of setback and a long stem. I personally like that.

Not that it is the goal of a post like this, but this one really made me feel better. Maybe I don't have to scrap my new frame for it being too small.


The water bottle is the flat kit that gets moved from bike to bike to bike. Never drank out of. Call it "old school".

So you want to hear about your "decor"?

OK, here you go:

1) your painting/picture is crooked

2) buy a frame

3) for the love of Pete...paint the walls an offwhite or some type of color to show off what appears to be some nice wood/trim work. If I could count how many people I've had to talk into getting away from "white" walls (or more important, white wall/white trim combo).

4) you didn't sweat on that nice wood flooring did you? Please, buy a mat or at least throw a towel under you ;-)

Other than that, I'll let the "experts" comment on your position on a road bike...but it sure is a nice ride! :-D

The decor is fine.

The bike is GREAT !!!

But -- You need a haircut -- bad.

your sideburns are patchy

that painting is most definitely not horizontal.

Anyways, me and the boys in the lab ran the data and the results say, 'lose the spacers'. Unless your back is bad. Going with a small-ish frame size has the purpose of having a smaller head tube, so what's the point in building it back up.

Your seat also looks a bit funky - pretty far fwd, slopes down, so maybe move it back by 5-10 mm and make it level.

Then, see if it's comfy, take more pics, and get back to is. And don't let the haters get to you about the hair, they're all bald.

Also, step back a little when you take the pic, less distortion (compare the closer up 2nd one to #1)
