I like it, just needs the angle wrapped with some old tube for comfort in the aero position.

It's for taking down the people next to you. In the past you'd have to get all un-aero and stick your elbows out.

cry me a river.
move the grip tape/grips and it's one of the nicest vintage restorations you'll find around.

I've seen one that looks much worse on my campus, and WITHOUT brakes. I can't tell if it's actually garbage, or if the owner thinks it's rideable.

This isn't a restoration, not even close.
Restore = bring back to as near original condition as possible. Read the description, it started of as a New Old Stock (NOS) bike in red, it was then stripped and powdercoated green with flake, then built up using a bunch of random gold parts.
I hate to argue semantics, but pimping out an old bike like this is not a "restoration". The frame was probably worth more in its original state.

yeah that green and blue bike looks really funny. I guess wheel base is something that is determined by the frame you use. Is there anything that controls the wheel base? it looks like his fork curves an awfully lot towards the front, so I guess that is his main problem. The rear wheel is also pretty far back. Hopefully my bike won't look like that when it is built up, but it's a pretty standard old Bianchi frame so I think it'll be alright.
