Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I agree, however, I do think his bike looks better this way rather than how it was. Ideally, I would drop it back down 2 or 3 spacers and get a -6 deg stem.

your saddle bag is upside down. If you just absolutely have to leave it on for a pic in the Hot or Not thread, which is highly discouraged, at least put it on correctly.

Looks excellent. The only thing I dislike is the saddle (bulky), and that's such a personal thing that I refuse to subtract points for it.

The Pro4's are a surprisingly good color match, and that's one of the few bikes were colored sidewalls look really good.

Yeah, I might ditch one of the 1/4 or 3/8 spacers. I don't feel like cutting tube though. I have the og san marco blue saddle I may put on there. Granted the current saddle is italian leather selle italia $150 but I wasn't too impressedon the shakedown anyway. The saddle bag is upside down huh? So that zipper pull seen hanging should actually be on the bottom and the flap should open towards the ground? Lol

Presumably Eddy should have changed his stem out for one of these;

Looks silly. I don't know why you'd think a pro having that setup justifies it.

and nobody is on him about the FSA crankset, and improperly positioned stems?. Flat black and deep carbon wheels do cover lots of sins.
