Your cog is slipping.
I hate the way that front fender is mounted - but it probably catches a lot more muck coming off the tire being so low to the ground.

Is that front fender really a rear?

This bike is badass, but heres my input
cross gearing like a mofo.
Saddle position looks fine to me. It's probably still in the hashmarks on the rails, just more forward than most.
Would look badass with a deeper and silver wheelset with less spokes.
I can't tell what those are on the top tube but if they're stickers not originally on the bike, they should come off.

Way too much drop for my taste, stem and post mismatch, goofy tires, tiny chain ring high spoke count wheels (I just think "aero" frames should have no more than 32). Right toe clip?

Yeah the wheelset is from my old bike, Im going to be getting a new set soon. I found out today they weigh more than 7 pounds. On a side note, do you know how to get rid of the attached image part at the bottom?

Your cog is slipping.
Saddle looks flaccid, aero seatpost, crazy positive-rise stem but still has huge saddle-to-bar drop, Visp, dat frok, ergo drops, crappy Michelin tires, water your plants.

Agree with most of the nitpicks, but that's a pinecone (fircone actually) not a poop. No errant poops in my backyard thankyouverymuch.
