Been a while since I posted my bike, I changed out the stem and bar with a stealth 3T stem and an 3T Ergonova LTD. a little under 15lbs.

Very nice, Rob.
Rear tire comments are coming since your domestique didn't line up the label and valve

Yeah, unfortunately you get points knocked off for mismatched tires. You also get dinged for the stand being visible.
I like the picture in spite of the busy background. The shallow depth of field makes it work.
As mentioned above I don't like the beefy head tube area. Bucking the trend, I like the fact that you've got a couple of spacers. It helps mitigate the beefy head tube issue.
I like your bike better than chiefDave's, but frankly I get bored with all the black bikes with deep carbon rims on this thread. I'm going to vote 'not' in spite of the obvious fact that your bike is hot.

Very nice bike, but IMO hot points get counted off for what looks like a compromised fit.
-Saddle is slammed forward on a setback post - tsk tsk.
- bars are rotated too high.
Get a straight post, shorter stem, and center the saddle and level out the bars. That'll get a hot from me.
(I'm ignoring the spacer stack)

I think its cool that your high school lets you park your bike in the hallway while you're in class.
