It's also not technically a bag, it's a tube and CO2 taped together and held on with a Backcountry Research strap. Also, what's wrong with my bottle?

Hmm. I can't … mention the nonexistent 'rules' so how do I describe this? We are voting on bikes, not accessories so I think (my opinion only, of course!) that it's sometimes, occasionally better, y'know if you remove all of the other stuff, including bottles before photographing your ride. Not that there's anything wrong with your bottle, I was just pointing out that when the bike looks good, some of that other stuff doesn't matter. If you are Cindy Crawford, then a mole is not a mole, it's a beauty mark. But if you're Shrek, then a mole might should be removed… hehehe.

Classy hot... Every once in a while I get the itch to get a Smoothie and build it up but there are so many steel frames out there (new, used, and NOS) I never can settle on one... anyhow,

She gets lots of compliments on the Centurion, and loves to ride it. That one started out as a 2 bikes for a $100.00 deal on CL in Raleigh. The other bike was a Lotus Excelle, the sale of which paid for the original purchase and some of the improvements to the Centurion.

OK here's mine. 1987ish lugged 531 Reynolds Rodriguez. Full Campy. I just mounted Trigger Pro 33mm hardpack tires to test fit for an upcoming gravel Fondo. They fit but barely. The beauty of older frames with "long reach" brakes.
Sorry no turtle but I had to shoo a chicken out of the frame.

There ARE no rules! There IS no right or wrong way to present one's bike! Only opinions, and it's just fine for folks to have a different opinion than someone else.

There IS no wrong position for the crank, and there's nothing wrong with tha garmin. There's only opinions.
Just like you say, when the bike looks good it looks good regardless.

Don't take this personal, and don't get all butt hurt like some are want to do. Your post is just a good example in my opinion.
There IS no wrong position for the crank in my opinion, and there's nothing wrong with tha garmin in my opinion. There's only opinions.

I had that exact Trek years ago. Was my first and only road bike for awhile...then my rain bike / beater / commuter for several more years. Kind of a tank, but it held up to a lot of abuse...
