Looks solid to me... if you think your stem is too high, lower it and see if you like it. Your handlebars are higher than your seat, which looks awkward to me considering that they are road drops. Are you running singlespeed?

Yeah im running single speed. And yeah thought the seat and stem height were questionable but its comfortable. I need to raise my seat like an inch though and perhaps lower the stem half an inch

Why do you have brakes?!
Don't you friends frown upon it?
Kidding.
Looks good, but I think a TT brake lever would look better.

with a head tube that long, a stem that short will put him farther behind the front axle than desirable, especially if any geometry was possible. the same reach and height could have been achieved with a 130mm stem. no matter, unpainted steel will be a bigger issue soon enough.

Giant Bowery with new flat black/gloss red paint job. Changed the drop downs and the brake levers. Took of the SS hub. Replaced the chain and tire.

I hate those D2 framesets. Ugly shape, overdone decals, crude looking welds. Fortunately, Bianchi brought back the Pista Concept in the form of the Super Pista. Hope your buddy doesn't have to ride in strong cross winds.

i have a feeling that I change crap on my bikes more than guys shoe/poopz magootz
probably gonna chop down the ends some time, looks a bit too goofy super tall like that. didn't do it before i threw them in the parts bin because i was afraid it would kill the value, but now that the sweet fixie market has died i don't think these bars will ever have value haha
