Getting compliments when riding through Williamsburg doesn't count. The bike is hideous. The color combination is clownish and between the seat being slammed (down *and* forward) and the stem being flipped up, you're likely put in an upright riding position that's counter to the purpose of a road bike so it's a massive 'not' in terms of both aesthetics and functionality.
