I agree with you for the wheels/tires are very loud. I swap the frame of my old bike (Opus Alto) with this one a month ago. Is wasn't that bad with the other frame. I'm planing to change the tires with some Conti GP4000S and put a silver chain instead of gold before the next season.

This thread will never die! Hell, it's even had it's own offshoot thread for awhile.

Switched pedals bike looks way better now:
The new pedals also have a way more positive click to them and hold the foot better than the Candy pedals.

This gets a hot from me. That saddle looks super grungy tho (or I guess it could be a shadow).

I would agree that the set back post makes no sense with were you have your saddle positioned. Your stem looks long, 120-130? Maybe too long which is why you have can't run the saddle back a bit? Speaking of saddle, the nose is heavy looking. Also a mix of SRAM and Shimano, BUT, a nice bike.

The saddle seems to be clamped right around the middle section of the rails. The big nose makes the saddle look like it's jammed forward on the seatpost.
Oh, and I would guesstimate the stem to be 110 mm.
