I don't like the levers either, but I can't move them near the fork, the bar is much thicker then the lever size.
Might just change the bar at some point.
Thanks

I need the top tube pad prevents any scratches or environmentally friendly impact to my frame. I like the riser bar because it's comfortable when riding on the streets.

And what makes you think that my bike is "dumb"? That doesn't help explain what don't you like about my bike which the title of the thread says.
And are you supporting "www.retro-gression.com"? I hope no one buys from that site with customer service like yours.

Because the thread states what don't you like about my bike and not to give negative criticism that my bike is dumb. That didn't help at all. I wouldn't want to deal with someone that has a negative attitude and perspective of my bike. Imagine hes working on your bike at the LBS and he tells you, this bike is dumb.

All i wanted was a person to tell me "What don't you like about my bike?". I didn't need someone to call my bike dumb and get flamed.
Very first post of this thread states "I seem to recall seeing a thread like this a while ago, figured I'd revive the concept. Post pics of your bike, or tell people what you like/dislike about theirs. I'll start off."

I'm not at the shop right now and don't give a single **** whether you buy anything from us or not. What are you going to do, leave us a bad review on Yelp because I made fun of the dented NJS frame you paid too much money for?

Customer service is not always about goods and services, its also about giving the right attitude and positive inputs unless it is necessary to say something negative.
Sometimes what you say outside the work field still affects the company inside. I work at a company during the day but that doesn't mean I should go around saying **** you to everyone after work and expect the same respect from everyone to still come to my store, buy my stuff and get the same respect.

The risers with the negative rise stem is pointless and looks bad. The pad looks bad whether you feel like you need it or not.

Do you know what degrees is preferred? I'm trying to find a straight stem for a while.
