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

Also no worries on the wheels, I ride a small bike too, wheels dwarf any frame less than size 56 IMO. Size 51, similar classic style frame, not the American/Giant weirdness with massive downsloping short top tubed compact frames.
That's not a classic style frame. A classic style frame has a level top tube.

So not hot. Where to start?

1. Dirty gumwalls
2. Red tape on a blue bike
3. Everything seems really angled - top tube angle
4. One bottle cage
5. Uncut steerer tube with spacers on top of stem
6. Setback post makes saddle look like it has a weird angle
7. Lights
8. Valves not at 6 o clock position

I mean it is a decent bike and all, but very far from hot and the standard that has been set in this thread.

Loverly. If it had tan leather seat and bar tape (or gold colored), it would be perfect. Wheels look fantastic.
