The frame looks hot in Orange though. It might not be the color I'd ask for, but if I was buying an Angus I'd choose that over the black in a heartbeat.

I just though it was set up for an Orangutan with tiny feet.
Seriously though, if you're just throwing parts on a bike, how much hardr is it to throw them on so they look right. The high bars function over fashion argument doesn't hold here, the thing was thrown together for a photo shoot, it should be set up for the "average user". If that was someone's bike and they were comfortable on it that way then I would have no problem, but it was thrown together for looks, and it LOOKS WRONG.
