Need a straight on drive side shot to see for real. Based on this awkward angle I'd say it's close but a few things:
-crappy bottle cages. Get some nicely shaped stainless ones.
-for this thread ditch the light and toolbag (which I don't care for IMO)
-chop that nubbin off your steerer tube.
Otherwise a nice lookin ride

With that saddle position, you should consider a zero setback seatpost. Otherwise hot if a little plain.

+1, but still won't make it hot, especially with that large decal near the crown of the fork.

Don't do that.
BTW, that huge round decal on the fork looks odd.

aye - i think my parenthetical wasn't clear - I was saying I don't care for the tool roll type saddle bag. it's floppy and big and ugly. But yeah both should have been removed for the pic.
agreed. was trying to ignore decals on my initial look but it is pretty blatant.

OK, something different, but there's a reason bikes don't come with paint jobs like that...
I wanted to like it for being inventive, but I just can't. It's too melodramatic. The top tube looks like a big rubber band struggling to pull the head and seat tubes together.

I said hot as soon as I saw it, well, there were a few expletives in front of that but you get the idea.
I know that people prefer the white garage door backdrop, but this picture gets a bonus for the backyard. Bike is very visible even though the lighting is a bit off.

When I first saw the photo I kept asking myself "What does that top tube resemble? It evokes something, but I can't quite put my finger on it." Thanks for clearing that up for me.
