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

Honestly that photo is too busy and the bike seems to be out of focus, makes it difficult to be able to appreciate the bike. How about getting us a better photo? Make sure you follow the rules, valve stems at the bottom, crankset level with driveside pointed forward, big front ring, small back ring.

Now unwrap the bars and push the hoods back about 5 degrees. It'll keep your wrists from being destroyed and shorten the reach a bit.
If only I had the real estate on the bars to push the hoods further back. The bars are Cinelli 65 and pushed back more the levers begin to cant to the sides and starts to look strange. Time to look for some Cinelli 64s! Reach wise, I may consider slipping on a 100mm Cinelli XA.

Older Cinelli stems are usually a 26.4mm clamp. You might be able to shim it, but it's not ideal.

They converted to 26mm in the 90s so there are some out there with both clamp sizes.

Boy! Are you going to be in trouble! "Posing" the bicycle is very important! Accessories can be troublesome, too!
Nice background though!
Nice bicycle, too!

As it sets not hot.

Now, turn it around, take the saddle bag off, take the aero bars off, big ring front, small ring back and it may have a chance.

For the di2 cables, they should be run on the drive side so that they are hidden better.

Whoa! There's a lot going on in that photo: SS Pinarello with cantilever brakes, Vintage MTE setback seat post, old school top tube stickers.

I can feel the sand and salt in my teeth. Hot!
