-No garage door
-Mismatched wheels
-YELLOW computer on a red/white/carbon bike
-Big, clunky silver hub clashes with dark, subdued tones of the rest of the bike.
I left it in the "wrong" gear just to accentuate the horror.

And look at the way-too-long valve stems out there all willy-nilly. Ugh. The horror continues.

You also didn't center the air valves at the bottom but since it's a Pinny with a Powertap all is somehow forgiven....at least the door is white. This is one of those pics you grade on a curve.

The hubs do not clash.
The yellow computer is fine.
The bike looks fast....and light.
The wheels don't match. Egad!

And before the owner horribly disfigured this bicycle with the wheel "upgrade," he was seen at a local race, turning pedals in anger, and getting dirt and sports drink and stuff all over it!

The frame is too beautiful to not be OCP... anything wrong on it is just a "fashion statement" and will start a trend... like when Angelina Jolie started rocking medical scrubs bottoms with flip-flops...
