Flame away!

gold chains are for Long Island guidos. Too many risers. Are those the stock pedals with plastic clips? Prefer silver/chrome to black (seatpost, chainring/cranks, stem).

Nice tires.

The bike looks fine, but that wall behind the bike really has to go! Simply vile.

I built the whole studio around the Forest Wall concept. It rules everything. ^_^

Way too many risers, Stem is facing wrong way (or maybe you like it inclined upwards) Would have gone with Pursuits instead of Bullhorns, you have a front brake, and your saddle looks very uncomfortable. Are you trying to get some kind of individual style with this thing, or are you just going to run mostly stock?

Ditch the stickers on the rims. And the spoke card. And those bars.

not feeling the white sidewall with the red v's

I would suggest a flash feature for your camera

Not a riser fan. And please tell me that's not a reflector on the seat tube. ;)

Ignore this advice.

Can't put my finger on why exactly, but that bike looks very uncomfortable. Too cramped maybe.

Hate on my conversion!

I'm feeling that, except for gear ratio and those straps

Carbon fork + one piece cranks = sadness

This picture looks odd? Are those tires 650s? It looks like the aspect ratio is off, or maybe it's an optical illusion created by that door.

Quick release front tire has to go and the one piece crank looks goofy.

If he's not riding on the track, why does he need to replace his quick release axle?

here is one i had a few years ago.

Fix those bars (tape, angle) and add a brake and that looks like a winner.

wrap bars and fix the angle

amen

The current state of this machine_

wtf bars

The current state of this machine_

devil horns?

devil horns?

I have changed the bars a bit....

The current state of this machine_

is that a road frame modded with track ends?

I have changed the bars a bit....

Why, I kind of liked the perky little things....

What frame is that?

Why do people angle 21's down like that? I had a pair and couldn't imagine having them angled down like so. I could see if your frame was too small it might be more comfortable but then again whatever is comfortable.
